MR. CATHCART WASONI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the incident terminating in the death of Mr. Crewe Read was attributable to demands for forced labour, unpaid, being enforced.
§ MR. CHURCHILLThe Secretary of State expects shortly to receive from the Governor of Southern Nigeria a further report for which he has called upon the causes of the attack on Mr. Crewe Read; and in the meantime I am not in a position conclusively to answer the hon. Member's Question.
