HC Deb 19 July 1933 vol 280 cc1793-4
5. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received any reports of the condemnation of the Department of Labour in Ceylon by the Executive Committee of Labour, Industry, and Commerce in Ceylon with regard to the arrangements made by the department for the repatriation of Indian immigrant estate labourers; and what action is proposed to be taken in the matter?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

No, Sir; I have received no report on this subject. The hon. Member is, I presume, aware that the Department of Labour is under the control of the Executive Committee referred to in the question.
