HC Deb 01 November 1911 vol 30 cc843-4
Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received reports showing how the Northern Masai were transported to the new territory assigned to them, the incidents which took place on the way, and their experiences of their new country; and whether he proposes to publish these reports?

Sir CLEMENT HILL

asked whether the removal of the Masai from their northern reserve, which was dealt with in Cd. 5584, has been satisfactorily carried out; and, if not, what is the present position of the question?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Harcourt)

I have received reports from the Governor as to the move of the Northern Masai. The move has at present only been partially carried out. The reasons for this and the present situation are not altogether clear to me, and further communication with the Governor will be necessary. But I propose eventually to publish the correspondence.
