HC Deb 19 March 1947 vol 435 c73W
83. Mr. Baldwin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the tailoring trade in Kenya is largely a monopoly of Indian tailors and that their wages have been quadrupled in the last few years thus causing hardship to the lower income group and particularly to Africans; and what steps the Government proposes to take by which these hardships will be alleviated.

Mr. Creech Jones

I have asked for a report from the Governor and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as I receive it.
