§ 4. Mr. Dribergasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is satisfied that the expansion of the social services in Hong Kong is now adequate to the need.
§ Mr. J. AmeryThe tremendous increase in population since the war has made it quite impossible as yet to provide social services on a scale which would 1622 be considered adequate; but I can say that in all the circumstances great progress has been made.
§ Mr. DribergIn view of that perfectly accurate answer, is the hon. Gentleman aware that the idiotic suggestion in this Question has been included by some well-meaning fool in the film of the Duke of Edinburgh's Commonwealth tour, which is being distributed by the Central Office of Information? Since his Royal Highness would clearly not wish to have such "bull" fathered on him, will the hon. Gentleman communicate with his right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster?
§ Mr. AmeryI have not seen the film, but I will certainly draw my right hon. Friend's attention to the hon. Member's supplementary question.
