§ Mr. Harveyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the recruitment of agricultural workers from Jamaica and the Bahamas for employment in the United States, steps will be taken, either by insurance or otherwise, to provide for compensation or pensions in the event of injury or death of such workers, whether on the high seas or in the United States?
§ Colonel StanleyNo such obligation is imposed by the international labour conventions regulating recruitment and contracts of employment, but I am referring my hon. Friend's suggestion to the Governors of Jamaica and the Bahamas for their consideration.
