§ 31. Mr. R. Morganasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to a case of smuggling in East Africa, in which fines amounting to £900 were imposed by the Commissioner of Customs; how many breaches of the law were proved; why these penal proceedings do not take place publicly; and why the name of the guilty person was suppressed?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI have seen a reference in the Press to the case to which my hon. Friend refers, but I have no further information regarding it. I am asking the Governor for a report.
