§ Mr. GRANTasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if it is with the consent and knowledge of the Colonial Office that preference in the choice of the most healthy stations in British Central Africa is given to bachelors over married men; and whether he will make arrangements by which officials may be encouraged to 1613W marry instead of continuing the practice referred to above as being opposed to such an end?
Mr. HARCOURTThe answer to the first part of the hon. Member's question is in the negative; and, that being so, it is unnecessary for me to deal with the second part of it.
