§ 57. Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department, whether his attention has been drawn to the world map entitled Highways of Empire, issued by the Empire Marketing Board, on which the mandated territories are printed in the same colour as the annexed portions of the British Empire, while the Sudan is printed in two colours, showing that it has not been annexed by the British Empire; and whether he will consider the advisability of recommending that in future issues the mandated areas should be shown in a colour which will indicate that their status differs from that of other British dependencies?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Amery)I have been asked to reply to this question. Having regard to the nature of the purposes for which the map in question was issued by the Empire Marketing Board, I see no reason to think that its colouring is likely to cause any misapprehension as to the position of the various classes of Mandated Territories.
