§ SIR C. HILLI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the legislation relating to land tenure in the East Africa Protectorate, which is indicated in the despatch from Lord Elgin of the 19th March, 1908 (No. 9, in Cd. 4117), has yet been introduced; whether, if so, it has met with approval in the Protectorate; and whether the Ordinance, as finally settled, will be laid before Parliament.
§ COLONEL SEELYAn Ordinance is being drafted, but has not yet been introduced into the Legislative Council. The Ordinance, when passed, will be included among the papers relating to land tenure in East Africa Protectorate which will be laid before, Parliament in continuation of the papers already present.
§ MR. REESasked if somewhat similar regulations would be promulgated for other Protectorates on the coast.
§ COLONEL SEELYThat is rather a large Question; I should like notice of it.
