HC Deb 19 July 1916 vol 84 cc987-8
15. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements have been made for retaining a hill station in the Cameroons for the benefit of the administration of Nigeria?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Bonar Law)

The hill stations in the districts of the Cameroons provisionally placed under British authority are now occupied by officers of the Nigerian Government, which is administering those districts.

Mr. ASHLEY

In case of any change, or proposed change, in the status of these hill stations will the right hon. Gentleman take steps to see that, if possible, one or the other is retained in British hands?

Mr. BONAR LAW

That will certainly be considered if any rearrangement is made.

Colonel YATE

Do the hill stations in our occupation provide good sanatoria?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Yes, of the very best.
