§ Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Labour whether his information shows to what extent adverse discrimination is exercised against coloured British subjects because of their colour; and whether Employment Exchanges have been instructed not to exercise such discrimination?
§ Mr. AsshetonI have no information leading me to believe that there is any general adverse discrimination of this kind. The Employment Exchanges have not been given special instructions on the matter. In this as in other cases they must necessarily pay regard to the qualifications necessary for filling the vacancy.
