MR. J. M. MACLEAN (Cardiff)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will explain on what grounds, at the recent celebration of the Queen's Birthday in Natal, the children of natives of British Africa were forbidden by the authorities to view the festivities in company with the children of white people.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

I have no information on the subject.

MR. J. M. MACLEAN
