§ 16. Sir SYDNEY HENNasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the fact that Professor Kleine has organised an expedition to Tanganyika territory, financed by the German Government among others, for the purpose of instructing members of mission stations in methods of combating sleeping sickness; whether he has any information which assures him that this expedition is to operate in agreement with the International Sleeping Sickness Bureau at Entebbe; and, if not, whether he proposes to take any sters to make sure that confusion will not be created in the minds of the native peoples by the possible introduction into that country of conflicting methods of dealing with this disease?
§ Mr. AMERYYes, Sir, my attention has already been called to a Press report regarding a further visit of Professor Kleine to East Africa. The International Sleeping Sickness Commission, under the auspices of the League of Nations, of which Professor Kleine was a member, 585 concluded its labours at Entebbe in June, 1927, and its work is being continued there at the charges of the British East African Governments by the Institute of Human Trypanosomiasis Research. Professor Kleine is not now directly associated with the work at Entebbe, but I do not anticipate that any confusion would arise if he visited Tanganyika.
§ Mr. SOMERVILLEMay I ask whether, in connection with sleeping sickness, any steps are being taken such as were recommended by the East African Commission in 1925, to deal with tse-tse fly?
§ Mr. AMERYYes, I think in a number of directions and particularly in Tanganyika, active measures are being taken.
