HC Deb 02 March 1927 vol 203 c395W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will inform the House as to the causes and extent of the strike of dock workers at Colombo?

Mr. AMERY

It is reported in the Ceylon Press that some 4,000 men struck work with a view to obtain an increase of wages. I have no official information in the matter, but I will ask the Governor for a report.
