HC Deb 07 July 1943 vol 390 c2073
18. Commander King-Hall

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number of Governors of Crown Colonies; and the number of these officials whose offices are regularly supplied with Hansard?

Colonel Stanley

There are 29 Colonial Governors, including the officers responsible for the administration of Protectorates and Mandated Territories. For many years past, bound copies of Hansard have been sent immediately after their issue to all Colonies, except Aden, to which this arrangement is now being extended.

Sir Joseph Lamb

Is there any assurance that they are read by them?

Colonel Stanley

I am afraid I could not give that assurance without consulting all the Governors.
