§ 29. Mr. PALINGasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he will give an assurance that His Majesty's Government has no intention of abandoning its ultimate responsibility for Native policy in Southern Rhodesia?
Mr. J. H. THOMASI would refer the hon. Member to the reply to the question on this subject by the hon. and gallant Member for South-East Leeds (Major Milner) which I gave on the 26th February.
§ 62. Mr. OSWALD LEWISasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress has been made with regard to the proposal to set aside an area in the south-eastern portion of Southern Rhodesia with a view to securing a partial reserve for the natural fauna of the colony to adjoin the northern end of the Kruger National Park?
Mr. THOMASI understand that, under the provisions of the Southern Rhodesia Game and Fish Preservation Act, 1929, the Governor of Southern Rhodesia issued a proclamation on the 27th April, 1934, defining an area in the south-east portion of Southern Rhodesia, within which the hunting of game, without the special permission in writing of the Minister, is prohibited. To that extent, therefore, the area in question, which lies to the north of the Kruger National Park and adjoins it at one point, may be regarded as a game reserve.
