§ SIR JOHN RANDLES (Cumberland, Cockermouth)To ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether he has received a Report from Mr. A. Macdonald on the agricultural possibilities of the East African Protectorate; and, if so, can he indicate its nature, or will he lay it before the House.
§ (Answered by Mr. Churchill.) A Report has been received from Mr. A. Macdonald which deals mainly with the steps to be taken for the reorganisation of the Agricultural Department of the East African Protectorate. A second Report, dealing with agriculture generally in the Protectorate, is being prepared by him; and when it has been received, the Secretary of State for the Colonies will consider the question of laying it before the House.
