HC Deb 01 July 1943 vol 390 c1812W
Mr. Creech Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what agreements have been entered into by the local governments of Jamaica and other West Indian Colonies with the United States authorities governing the importation of workers into the United States; and whether the terms of the agreements can be printed in the official record?

Colonel Stanley

Only the Governments of Jamaica and the Bahamas have so far made agreements with the United States authorities for the importation of labourers into that country. Copies of the Jamaica agreement have not yet been received. As the agreements in respect of the Bahamas are extremely long, I am sending copies to the hon. Member.
