HC Deb 05 April 1939 vol 345 c2784
67. Mr. A. Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he can make any statement on the commission of experts which has been sent to Southern Rhodesia to examine the possibilities of refugee settlement there; and, in particular, whether the projected settlement is entirely agricultural or general in character?

The Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs (Sir Thomas Inskip)

I understand that various inquiries have been made as to the establishment by refugees of one Or two industries and a small agricultural settlement in Southern Rhodesia, but I am not aware of any visit by a commission of experts to the colony such as that indicated by the hon. Member.
