HC Deb 14 February 1939 vol 343 c1535
31. Mr. Muff

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he can report on the social and economic condition of the natives on the Labrador Coast; and whether his department is taking any steps to help the native fishermen to continue their occupation?

The Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs (Sir Thomas Inskip)

I have been in communication with the Governor, who informs me that a section dealing with conditions among the Eskimos and Indians in Labrador will be incorporated in the Annual Report of the Commission of Government for 1938 which will be reaching me shortly. This section will include information as to the fisheries position. I will arrange for the report to be presented to Parliament as soon as it has been printed.
