§ 29. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has now received the report of the inquiry into the Kano disturbances; and whether the inquiry included investigation of the charges made by the local branch of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons.
§ Mr. LytteltonThe answer to the first part of the question is "No, Sir," and to the second part, "Yes."
§ Mr. SorensenWill the right hon. Gentleman say when the report is likely to be published? He will remember that last week he said he expected the report would be published in the very near future, or words to that effect. Can we have some idea when it may be forthcoming?
§ Mr. LytteltonThe hon. Gentleman is always pressing me to assume the role of prophet about things over which I have no control. I am afraid that my answer is the same as it was last week, that it will be in the near future.
