HC Deb 11 February 1929 vol 225 c63W
Sir S. HENN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether an opportunity will be afforded for discussion by this House of the Hilton Young Report before any decisions are taken by him in regard to East African matters arising out of that Report?

Mr. AMERY

I would remind my hon. Friend that I have already given an undertaking that there will be an opportunity for Parliamentary discussion before any final action is taken upon the Report.

Sir S. HENN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the Hilton Young Report, he can assure the House that no Cabinet decision will be taken in regard to the federation or closer union of the East African territories until local opinion in the dependencies concerned has been consulted?

Mr. AMERY

No final decision in regard to federation or closer union of the East African territories will be taken until local opinion in East Africa has been consulted.
