38. Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether there is any proposal in the coming year to repatriate a further number of Indians from British Guiana?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreYes, Sir. Arrangements for chartering a ship for that purpose are at present under consideration.
Mr. Creech JonesIn view of the anxiety felt by the Indians in this territory in regard to this proposal, should there not be some hesitation before repatriation is carried out; and will the right hon. Gentleman receive representations on the matter?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI understand that no Indian is repatriated against his will. I also understand that there are 600 Indians who wish to return to their homes.
