HC Deb 03 December 1947 vol 445 c77W
84. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the opposition of the Indian Members of the Fiji Legislative Council in respect of the new immigration proposals; and whether the Governor has been consulted on this matter.

Mr. Creech Jones

I am aware that the Indian Members have made representations on certain points affecting the Fiji Immigration Bill, a non-discriminatory Measure, and I have been in communication with the Acting Governor on the matter. The Bill is at present before the Legislative Council and I have not yet had'a report of the debate.
