HC Deb 12 April 1933 vol 276 c2570
26. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs when he expects to publish Sir Alan Pym's Report on Bechuanaland; and whether he proposes to take any action in connection with the similar reports on Swaziland and Basutoland?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

I hope to be able to arrange very shortly for the publication, as a Command Paper, of the report of the Bechuanaland Protectorate Financial and Economic Mission. Action has already been taken, or is under consideration, on the various recommendations of the similar report on Swaziland. Basutoland has not been the subject of an inquiry of this kind.

Colonel WEDGWOOD

Is there any possibility of a similar inquiry taking place in Basutoland, where the conditions are worse?

Mr. THOMAS

When I see the report I will take the matter into consideration.
