HC Deb 17 May 1938 vol 336 cc231-2W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the present total of unemployed workers in the islands of Jamaica, Barbados, and Trinidad, and in British Guiana; and the totals for these Colonies at the corresponding period in 1937 and 1936?

Mr. Mac Donald:

There has not been any system of general unemployment registration in the Colonies named, and I am, therefore, not in a position to give the figures asked for.
