HC Deb 06 July 1955 vol 543 cc95-6W
62. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the Chief Minister of Jamaica has set up an investigation into the large migration of Jamaicans to Britain; and if he also will set up a co-relative investigation so that this problem can be considered and solved from both the Jamaican and British aspects.

Mr. Hopkinson

The Chief Minister of Jamaica discussed with my right hon. Friend when he was recently here his proposal for a fact-finding inquiry into the migration of Jamaicans to this country to help the Jamaica Government in deciding what further measures they might take to alleviate the problems arising from this migration. On the second part of the Question, I have nothing to add at present to the previous answers which have been given.
