asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether any steps have been taken or are in contemplation in regard to the provision of a wild animal reserve in Southern Rhodesia, with a view to giving sanctuary for as many varieties as possible of animals and birds in that Colony?

I understand that game sanctuaries have already been established in four districts of Southern Rhodesia with a total area of 5,780 square miles and that the establishment of a further sanctuary in the Gwanda district is under the consideration of the Southern Rhodesia Government.
