HC Deb 15 April 1948 vol 449 c92W
Mr. Byers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent any forced labour is used on public works in Nigeria; and what is the minimum wage paid to Africans engaged on this work.

Mr. McNeil

I have been asked to reply. No forced labour is used on public works in Nigeria. The second part of the Question does not therefore arise.
