§ 4. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for India whether, in view of the harm likely to be caused to the Indian community in Zanzibar by the passing of the Land Alienation Bill, he will state what steps are being taken by the Government of India to protect the livelihood of Indian British subjects resident in Zanzibar?
§ Mr. BUTLERThe report of Mr. K. P. S. Menon, who was recently deputed to Zanzibar to inquire into and report on this Measure and other legislation affecting the interests of the Indian community, is now under the consideration of the Government of India.
Lieut.-Colonel SANDEMAN ALLENIs it not a fact that Indians themselves 1496 have approved of similar legislation in the Punjab?
§ Mr. BUTLERI think it would be wiser to await the report.
