HC Deb 24 June 1920 vol 130 cc2405-6W
Major HAYWARD

asked the Prime Minister whether South Africa has incorporated, or is proceeding to incorporate, South-West Africa in its territory without waiting for the drafting of the mandate?

Colonel WILSON

I am not aware that there has been any incorporation. All that, as I understand, has been done is to provide by legislation for the orderly government of the territory, pending the issue of the mandate, in accordance with the principles laid down in paragraph 6 of Section 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, which the mandate, when issued, will embody.
