§ 97. Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that no rent restrictive legislation is operated in Bermuda; and whether he will take steps to see that such legislation is introduced.
§ Mr. W. R. Williams101-2-3. asked (1) what steps he is taking to provide a sufficient number of teachers and adequate school buildings in Bermuda;
(2) by what methods, since there are no examinations, appointments are made to the Civil Service in Bermuda; and whether he is satisfied that suitable candidates from all races are given equal treatment;
(3) whether he is aware that there are separate secondary schools in Bermuda for white and coloured children; and whether he will take steps to ensure that no voluntary body is allowed to conduct schools which operate a colour bar.
Mr. Creech JonesI have recently received representations on these matters from Bermuda, and I cannot at present add anything to the reply given on 29th January to my hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge (Mr. Beswick). As there indicated, I hope to make a statement in the near future.
