HC Deb 27 June 1955 vol 543 c5W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet received the final Report of the committee which is studying the emigration and population problems of Mauritius; and what are the possibilities of emigration for Mauritians to North Borneo.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

No. I understand the Report has just been printed and copies will be sent to me shortly.

With regard to the second part of the Question, North Borneo is unlikely to provide an outlet for Mauritius's surplus population, as its labour and population requirements can more suitably be met from adjacent territories.
