Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies 233W whether there are any welfare officers employed in the Fiji Islands to look after the interest of the workers in the sugar industry; to what extent the workers' dwellings are adequate to house all the workers; and, if not, what steps are being taken to remedy the bad conditions of living in many places of employment?
§ Mr. George HallThe matter falls within the province of the Commissioner of Labour. According to my information, the housing of labour in almost all sugar areas reaches a good standard.
