HC Deb 10 June 1913 vol 53 c1456W
Mr. COOPER

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the figures given in the second column of the Return, No. 114, of Session 1913, in reference to Indentured Labourers (Crown Colonies), are the number arriving during the years to which the Return relates, or whether they are the numbers of labourers resident in the Colonies during those years?

Mr. HARCOURT

The figures referred to represent the average number of indentured labourers serving in the Colonies in question during the year covered by the Return.
