HC Deb 21 April 1943 vol 388 c1692
63. Mr. Riley

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any information regarding the recent launch disaster on the Demerara River, British Guiana, when a number of labourers working on the United States naval base there were drowned; whether he is aware of the renewed dissatisfaction of the native labourers working on the United States air base regarding rates of wages and conditions; and whether any negotiations are taking place regarding these?

Colonel Stanley

No, Sir, but I am making inquiries.
