§ 20. Mr. SHORTasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether proposals have been submitted through the Governor of Nyasaland for the adoption of some scheme of military conscription in the Protectorate; and, if so, will he state what action has been taken thereon?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GORELegislation involving the principle of compulsory service for Europeans and Asiatics in Nyasaland was prepared, but it has been decided not to proceed with it, and the Governor has been so informed.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThe matter was, I think, the subject of considerable difference of opinion on the Executive Council of Nyasaland.
