§ Mr. REESasked the Under-Secretary for the Colonies whether the Government has yet acquired any reliable information regarding the relations between big game and tsetse fly in Central Africa; and, if so, what bearing such information had upon the policy of game preservation and of prevention of sleeping sickness?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY for the COLONIES (Colonel Seely)The relation 1073 between big game and tsetse fly in Central Africa is a much debated question. A strong Committee has been recently appointed by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to organise entomological research in tropical Africa, and I have no doubt that this question, among others, will receive their earnest consideration.
