§ Mr. G. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) the number of people employed in casual work in Dominica; what proportion this is of the total working population; and the average number of months a year for which these casual workers can hope to obtain employment;
(2) if he will give an estimate of the percentage of the working population, and the numbers, unemployed in Dominica as an average for 1955 and for 1950;
(3) what labour employment exchanges exist in the island of Dominica; and how unemployed persons or casual labourers, having no access to such exchanges, can find employment.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI regret that this detailed information is not available in the Colonial Office. I am asking the Governor for it and I will write to the hon. Member when I receive it.
