§ THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR COLONIAL AFFAIRS (THE EARL OF PERTH)My Lords, with your permission, I wish to make a personal statement, following the most noble Marquess's attack on my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
I have known about, and been in complete agreement with, every step taken by my right honourable friend in the Kenya Conference, the Northern Rhodesian Conference and the other African Conferences we have held.
