§ Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the definition of the word "child" in the Day Nurseries 120W Ordinance, 1957, of Northern Rhodesia includes Asian and African children.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe definition of "child" in the Ordinance is
a European person who has not attained the age of seven years.The Ordinance does not provide for the setting up of day nurseries but for the control and inspection of those set up by private persons for reward. When I received the Ordinance I inquired from the Governor about the introduction of comparable provisions for the control of any similar institutions for non-European children.
