HC Deb 14 November 1957 vol 577 c1128
21. Mr. Benn

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the report of the Boundary Commission for Mauritius will be ready; and when a decision on it will be reached.

Mr. Profumo

The Chairman has informed me that the Commission will need a little more time before it can complete its report. He has undertaken to let my right hon. Friend have it as soon as possible.

Mr. Benn

Can the Minister give any indication when the Report is to be expected, because it is, of course, awaited?

Mr. Profumo

The Report has not yet been submitted, and I cannot tell the hon. Gentleman how long it will be before it will be. I know that the Chairman is working with his colleagues as speedily as possible. It will be for my right hon. Friend to study the Report in great detail when it is submitted before he can pronounce upon it.
