HC Deb 24 February 1915 vol 70 cc252-3
9. Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the hon. Mr. Cole has now been permitted to return to East Africa; and, if not, whether, in view of all the circumstances of the case the acquittal of the hon. Mr. Cole by his fellow countrymen of the offence charged against him, the services he has rendered East Africa and might more than ever render, he will permit him to return to that country?

Mr. HARCOURT

I anticipated my hon. Friend's wish by five months. I revoked the deportation order in September last, and I believe Mr. Cole returned immediately to East Africa.
