HC Deb 29 November 1916 vol 88 c367W
Mr. KING

asked (1) whether, in considering the introduction of coloured labour into this country, any regard has been made to the increased liability to disease and death of men coming from tropical or sub-tropical countries into this country during the winter season; what provision will be made for possible sickness which may arise; and (2) whether, in the event of coloured labour being brought to these shores for work at docks, on railways, or otherwise, there will be an undertaking given to return such labourers to their original country after the War, or to any other country to which they may desire to go?

Mr. PRETYMAN

In the event of its being decided to bring coloured labour to this country, the points to which he calls attention will not be overlooked.
