§ 9. Lieut.-Commander Fletcherasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any reports have recently been received by the League of Nations concerning conditions of native labour in the Portuguese colonial possessions?
§ Mr. EdenSo far as I am aware, no report of this character has recently been received by the Secretary-General of the League of Nations.
§ Lieut.-Commander FletcherCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether any improvement has taken place in labour conditions in these colonies since 1929, when the then Foreign Secretary informed the House that he was unable to state that any improvement had taken place since 1914?
§ Mr. EdenI should have notice of that question. I was only asked as to League reports on the subject.
