96. Miss Wardasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in view of the need for education of the African women in the Colonial Empire to be pressed forward, what recent steps he has taken towards this end.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI agree with the hon. Lady that the education of African women must be pressed forward and can assure her that the Governments of the African territories, with whom the responsibility primarily rests, are devoting increasing attention and resources to this work. As their efforts cover a wide field and the selection of examples for special mention would be invidious, I am sending her a memorandum on the subject.
