HC Deb 21 June 1932 vol 267 cc897-8
11. Mr. JOEL

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he has been in communication with the Natal Devolution League; and if he can give any information on the position that is arising in Natal?

Mr. THOMAS

Various communications from the Natal Devolution League have reached His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and have been communicated to His Majesty's Government in the Union of South Africa. The answer to the latter part of the question is in the negative.

Mr. ROSS

Is my right hon. Friend aware of the intense loyalty of the people of Natal who are members of the British Empire?

Mr. THOMAS

I am also aware that this is a matter which affects the Dominions, and I never interfere with the business of other people.
