§ 6. Major Wallasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what degree the work of mission schools staffed by British subjects in the Southern Sudan has suffered through discrimination since the transference of power.
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerI am not aware of any instance of such discrimination. I understand that good working relations have been established between the missions and the Central Government and local authorities in the Southern Sudan.
§ Major WallIs my hon. Friend aware of the fact that the Sudanese Ministry of Education stated recently that their Government intended to take over all mission schools, that recently a group of missionaries was expelled from the Sudan without notice, and that there is a growing fear, particularly in the South, of discrimination against Christians?
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerI will certainly look into that point and let my hon. Friend know.
