§ 36. Captain Peter Macdonaldasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any representatives of social studies have been appointed to the Colonial Research Committee?
§ The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Colonel Oliver Stanley)Yes, Sir. The development of the work of the Committee made it clear that it would be of value to have among them persons with knowledge of social and economic studies and of business affairs. I am glad to announce that Professor Carr-Saunders, Sir Hubert Henderson and Sir John Caulcutt have now joined the Committee to represent these aspects.
§ Mr. SorensenHave any natives been appointed to this Committee?
§ Colonel StanleyI am as anxious as anyone else to associate natives of the Colonies with various kinds of work, but this is a committee of research experts sitting in London the whole time, and my sole consideration must be to get the best experts for the particular job.
