HC Deb 25 February 1931 vol 248 cc2109-10
23. Mr. DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now in a position to make any further statement with reference to the mui-tsai system in Hong Kong?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Dr. Drummond Shiels)

A copy of the Governor's report of the 4th December, 1930, which covers the second six months of 1930 and which is the latest report on the subject which my Noble Friend has received, will be placed in the Library.

Mr. DAY

I asked my hon. Friend whether he had anything to state with regard to the position. Can he give the House any further information?

Dr. SHIELS

This is the report of the Governor. As my hon. Friend is probably aware, we are having six-monthly reports from the Governor on this subject.
