HC Deb 13 December 1933 vol 284 c371
59. Mr. RHYS DAVIES (for Mr. MORGAN JONES)

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he has considered the advisability of separating the office of High Commissioner to the Government of the Union of South Africa from that of administrator of the Protectorates under the British Government?

Mr. J. H. THOMAS

In both his capacities the High Commissioner is responsible to His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, and it does not appear to me that there would be any special advantage in separating the two offices.
