§ 19. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what was the cause of the recent disturbances at a secondary school in Aden when the director of education was beaten and his car burnt; and whether the boys' and girls' college is to be closed.
§ Mr. MaudlingThe Aden Government are investigating the circumstances which have led to trouble at the Aden Girls' College and have set up a committee of parents' representatives and experts to consider the complaints.
§ Mr. SorensenIs it not true that a procession of young people denouncing somebody responsible for the closing of these colleges passed through Aden recently? In any inquiry which is to be made, will the right hon. Gentleman make sure that the basic cause of this unfortunate difficulty is examined?
§ Mr. MaudlingThat is the point of the inquiry.
§ Mr. SorensenIs a report likely to be published?
