§ 24. Colonel Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why the hostel for coloured seamen in Leman Street, Whitechapel, is being closed; and what alternative arrangements are being made for the accommodation and welfare of coloured seamen who require it.
Mr. Creech JonesThis hostel is being closed because it has been found that adequate accommodation for Colonial seamen is available at other hostels for seamen in the same area.
