HC Deb 01 July 1920 vol 131 cc707-8W
Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether there has been any sedition, disloyalty, or unrest in the Island of Grenada or any evidence that seditious matter from abroad is being introduced into that Colony?

Lieut.-Colonel AMERY

I have no reason to suppose that the inhabitants of Grenada are any less loyal than those of other West Indian Colonies, but the Colony has not escaped the world-wide unrest which has been manifested by an outbreak of incendiary fires in the Island, and in other ways. In common with other West Indian Colonies, Grenada is affected by the introduction of foreign publications designed to stir up disaffection, and the Governor considers it essential to take precautions to cope with this evil.
