HC Deb 13 December 1950 vol 482 c1141
24. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what rise has taken place in the cost of living in Mauritius from 1948 to 1950.

Mr. J. Griffiths

There are six separate cost of living indices in Mauritius relating to different classes of wage earners. In September, 1950, five of these indices stood at almost exactly the same level as in June, 1948, and one had risen by 3 per cent.
