§ 36. Dr. Haden Guestasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in connection with the recently published annual report of the Colonial Development Advisory Committee, he will ask for the name of the Tanganyika African who is mentioned as having allowed himself, in the course of investigations into the transmissibility of sleeping sickness, to be infected with the disease, in order that his service to the cause of science and public health may be recognised?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreThe name of the volunteer in question was Ngasa. I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the bravery which has been shown by this man, and others connected with this sleeping sickness research, in exposing themselves to infection. Ngasa made a most satisfactory recovery.
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreYes—certainly in Uganda some time ago, when Dr. Duke was in charge of a similar research.
