§ 41. Mr. HAYESasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Caprivi strip of South-west Africa is still being administered by the Bechuanaland Government; and on whom devolves the responsibility of reporting upon the administration of this territory to the League of Nations?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)I am answering this question as it should have been addressed to the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs. The Caprivi strip is still administered by the authorities of the Bechuanaland Protectorate, but the responsibility for submitting reports upon the administration of this area to the League of Nations rests with His Majesty's Government in the Union of South Africa as the mandatory for South-west Africa.
