19. Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has a statement to make as to the courses of instruction in progress in London upon labour problems in the Colonial Empire, available to administrative and labour officers in the Colonial service; and whether it is intended to continue this system?
Mr. M. MacDonaldMore than 40 members of the Colonial Service are at present attending a fortnight's course on labour questions. The course includes lectures both on practical problems of labour administration in the Colonies and on the treatment of these problems in this country. The course is the first of its kind to be held, and it is my intention that similar courses should be held at regular intervals in future.
