HC Deb 07 December 1949 vol 470 c1862
27. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Arabs of Aden are attending the Gordon Memorial College at Khartoum; and how many scholarships or grants have been given by the Government of Aden for this purpose.

Mr. Rees-Williams

Two from the Protectorate, none from the Colony. No scholarships or grants have been given by the Government of the Colony.

Mr. Rankin

Can my hon. Friend say if any of the students come to this country to complete their education, and, if so, what number?

Mr. Rees-Williams

I doubt if any of the students who have been at the Gordon Memorial College do, but perhaps my hon. Friend will let me have notice of that question.
