HC Deb 19 April 1921 vol 140 cc1716-7
25. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies whether Lord Milner's decisions regarding segregation of Indians are applicable to, and are being applied in, Uganda; and whether it is proposed to appoint a Royal Commission to consider the whole question of the administration of the East African territories?

Mr. WOOD

The answer to the first part of this question is in the affirmative; but I propose to discuss the whole problem with the Secretary of State for India before coming to any final decision. I am not aware of any necessity for the appointment of a Royal Commission.

Sir J. D. REES

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when any announcement will be made of the result of that conference?

Mr. WOOD

I am not able to give the exact date, but I hope to do so in a few days.
