§ 34. Mr. J. Hyndasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Africans travelling first or second-class on the railway in Northern Rhodesia are permitted to take their meals along with European passengers in the dining cars.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydYes, Sir.
§ Mr. HyndWill the Minister maker further inquiries into this matter? I have recent correspondence from this Territory which makes quite contrary assertions, and these assertions would not be made unless there was some substance in them. I realise that the Minister has official sources of information, but may there not be an official position and an actual position, which do not check up?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI see no need for me to make further inquiries. I think the hon. Gentleman had better make further inquiries of his own correspondents.
