§ 66. Mr. F. GRAHAMasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the mining companies operating in Northern Rhodesia recruit native labour locally or at a distance from the mines; whether any native labour is being brought to these mines from Nyasaland and other neighbouring territories; what is the number of labour commissioners in the service of the Northern Rhodesian Government; and what arrangements are being made for the care and supervision of labourers in transit between the mines and their homes?
§ Mr. LUNNCompanies obtain labour both locally and from a distance. Recruiting in Nyasaland is not allowed. Duties in connection with labour are carried out by the district administration. I have no information with regard to the last part of the question.
