§ 14. Mr. PARKINSONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what grounds Jimmy Girkou, who claims to be a British subject, has been deported from the territory of Gambia?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI have received no information on this subject, but I will ask the Governor for a report.
§ 15. Mr. PARKINSONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Gambia Native Authority Ordinance, Native Tribunals Bill, and Subordinate Courts Ordinance are still under his consideration; whether he has suggested any amendments, or intends to suggest any, before allowing these ordinances; and whether he has considered the removal of the racial distinction involved in the definition of the word Native in the Native Authority Ordinance and the Native Tribunals Bill?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI am satisfied that the general provisions of these Ordinances are in the best interests of the colony and the protectorate; and I may add that they received the unanimous support of the unofficial members Subject therefore to a further scrutiny 1526 on technical grounds by my legal advisers, I propose to advise His Majesty not to disallow the Ordinances.
