§ MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)To ask the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies whether in the East Africa Protectorate power is reserved to the Government to deport disloyal and dangerous agitators and others; and whether such power is reserved in respect of other Colonies and Dependencies.
(Answered by Colonel Seely.) Under Section 25 of the East African Order in Council the Governor has the power to which my hon. friend refers. A similar power is reserved in other African Protectorates. I am not aware that the power exists generally in the Colonies strictly so-called.
