*MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government will make further representations to the administrations concerned, to the effect that the exaction of a literary test in English from British Indians is unfair.

As at present advised the Secretary of State is not prepared to make representations on the subject to the Colonial Governments.
