§ 60. Mr. LEWISasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the Government propose to ratify the convention concluded at the International Conference for the protection of the fauna and flora of Africa in November last; and if the Governments of any other countries have yet ratified this convention?
Mr. M. MacDONALDI am not yet in a position to make an announcement as to ratification by His Majesty's Government. My hon. Friend will appreciate that it is necessary in the first instance to obtain the views of the Colonial Governments concerned. A decision will be taken as soon as these views are available. No other Governments have yet ratified the convention.
