§ Mr. GILLETTasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Report of the Hilton Young Commission on East African questions has been signed; and, if so, what are the reasons for the delay in its publication?
623W
§ Mr. AMERYYes, Sir. The Report has been signed; but the Commissioners desired to have an opportunity of revising the text in detail, and I understand that it will still be two or three weeks before copies will be finally struck off. As it is proposed to send copies to Africa and to India with a view to simultaneous publication there and in England, it will be necessary to delay publication for about a month after the completion of printing.
§ Mr. RENNIE SMITHasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the Report of the recent Commission which visited East Africa is likely to be published?
§ Mr. AMERYI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 12th November to the hon. Member for Montrose District (Sir R. Hutchison).
