§ 60. Mr. Skinnardasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress is being made with the provision of official housing for locally recruited Government servants in the Colonies having regard to complaints being received from such territories as British Guiana and Hong Kong that rentals now exceed 30 per cent. of salary in many cases.
Mr. Creech JonesConditions vary from territory to territory, but generally speaking official housing is not provided by Colonial Governments for locally recruited staff, whose position as regards housing is no different from that of other members of the general public.
