HC Deb 10 March 1943 vol 387 cc650-1
35. Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can now give the date for the publication in this country of the Report upon the Bahama riots published some time ago in the Bahamas?

Colonel Stanley

I am placing a copy of the Report in the Library of the House, together with a copy of a statement which indicates the action which the Governor proposes to take upon the main recommendations in the Report.

Mr. Edmund Harvey

Will the Report be available to the public of this country?

Mr. Adams

Will it be available shortly?

Colonel Stanley

I shall be placing it to-day. With regard to the availability of the Report, the difficulty is that it has been printed in the Bahamas. At present I have only one copy, and I am placing it in the Library. I expect some more copies shortly, and, although I do not think that it will be possible to make it available for public issue, there will be copies available for those who are interested in it.
