§ 41. Mr. Errollasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement regarding the present position of the Alake of Abeokuta.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsThe Alake left Abeokuta on 29th July after demonstrations against him had taken place. He then took up residence in a neighbouring Province, where, I understand, he is still considering his future.
§ Mr. ErrollWhat do the British Government intend to do about his future and the future of the people over whom he was formerly ruling with considerable benevolence?
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsThat is a matter for the people over whom he was formerly ruling.
