20. Mr. EDMUND HARVEYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the statement of Captain Edwards, Inspector-General of Police and Prisons in British East Africa, before the Native Labour Commission, that there was no way of making known to the native community the numerous enactments which appeared in the Government Gazette, and that breaches of regulations were committed by natives without knowing that they were doing wrong, and whether any steps are being taken to remedy this state of affairs?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Harcourt)I have seen a statement to this effect in one of the local papers dated the 15th of March. I am asking the Governor for his views on the subject.
