Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, in view of the fact that there is nothing in the legislation either in Northern or Southern Rhodesia which forbids any native from looking for and selling gold on lands in native occupation, whether he will ascertain how many permits have been applied for and granted to natives in Northern and Southern Rhodesia within the last 10 years?
Mr. M. MacDonaldInquiries are being made of the Governments of Southern 323W and Northern Rhodesia, and I will communicate with the hon. Member on receipt of their replies.
