HC Deb 23 February 1932 vol 262 c205
25. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the Southern Rhodesia Bill, A.B. 10, 1932, now proposed for the restraint of African natives is based on legislation in operation elsewhere, especially in South Africa?

Mr. J. H. THOMAS

Since I replied to my right hon. and gallant Friend's inquiries last week I have ascertained that an alternative measure is under consideration in Southern Rhodesia, and I gather that it is not proposed to proceed with the Bill to which he refers in its present form.
