HC Deb 29 June 1938 vol 337 c1931W
Sir A. Wilson

asked the Prime Minister whether he can state the average daily wages paid to ordinary unskilled labour in the tropical colonies of the principal foreign countries producing sugar which are signatories to the International Sugar Convention, and how they compare with the corresponding wages paid in the British West Indies?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I have been asked to reply. I regret that information in regard to foreign colonies is not readily available, but I will endeavour to obtain the necessary statistics.
