§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet received the report upon the proposed removal of the native population of Msoro, Northern Rhodesia; and whether the report will be laid upon the Table of the House?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThe position was explained by my predecessor in the Debate on the Colonial Office Vote on the 11th July. The Msoro natives have not been removed, and the rumour that it had been decided that they were to be moved seems to have been due to a misunderstanding. They have been assured that no removal would take place until the whole question of native reserves had been considered by a duly constituted Commission.
