51. Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered a petition from the descendants of the Kintu, who are the indigenous people of the Buganda kingdom of Uganda Protectorate, on the subject of the recent Uganda Ordinance dealing with the incorporation of native administrations; and whether he has consented to the plea made by these people?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe petition is at present under consideration, and I am not therefore at present in a position to make a statement.
Mr. Creech JonesWill the right hon. Gentleman give sympathetic consideration to the representations of these people?
