HC Deb 21 February 1927 vol 202 c1377
4. Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether any decision has yet been taken upon the question of appointing an agent for British Guiana to watch over the interests of English workers emigrating to that country?

Earl WINTERTON

I presume that the hon. Member means "Indian" workers. Provision far the appointment of an agent under the Indian Emigration Act in British Guiana is made in the scheme for Indian colonisation which has been approved by the Government of India, but the scheme is not to take effect till a date to be notified with the concurrence of the Governor of the Colony.

Mr. TINNE

Is A not a fact that there is already an Immigration Agent-General in the Colony who looks after the interests of these immigrants?
