§ 32. Mr. Mathersasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is in a position to state the result of the inquiry into the question of the proposed partition of Ijebu Province, Nigeria; and whether he has decided against partition?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI am not yet in a position to state the result of the inquiry to which the hon. Member refers and which, so far as I am aware, is still proceeding. The second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. MathersCan no actual change take place without the consent of the right hon. Gentleman himself?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI believe that is so.
