HC Deb 15 October 1952 vol 505 c20W
74. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the overpopulation of Mauritius; and whether he will consider schemes for the emigration of this excess population.

Mr. Lyttelton

Yes, I am fully aware of this problem. So far, efforts to find a solution by means of emigration schemes have met with no success, but they will be continued.
