HC Deb 19 November 1952 vol 507 c163W
59. Mr. T. Reid

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will propose to colonial Governments into whose territories there is a regular immigration of ignorant labourers unable to protect themselves financially and otherwise, whose family life is broken up by immigration of males only, that a system of immigration control similar to those established many decades ago for Indian immigrants into Malaya and Ceylon, be established.

Mr. Lyttelton

To the best of my knowledge measures to safeguard the interests of migrants are already in force in territories where these problems occur. If the hon. Member has any suggestions affecting a particular territory, I should be glad to look into them in consultation with the Government concerned.
