§ Mr. NOEL BUXTONasked whether indentured coolies to the island of Fiji cannot obtain a pass back to India until they have completed ten years' service?
Mr. HARCOURTIndentured coolies in Fiji are not entitled to free passages to India until they have completed ten years' residence in the Colony—five years as indentured labourers and five years as free labourers.
§ Mr. NOEL BUXTONasked what are the numbers, respectively, of plantations worked with and without coolie labour in the island of Jamaica?
Mr. HARCOURTI do not think that it would be possible to give the figures asked for by my hon. Friend owing to the difficulty of defining a plantation; but he will doubtless remember that very full information on the subject was given to him in November last as the result of a question put by him in this House at an earlier date.
