§ Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in what territories under the control of the Colonial Office is there any discrimination based on race, creed, or colour between the different electors to local legislatures, sometimes called the communal system of election?
§ Mr. AMERYProvision is made for the representation of particular classes of electors on the ground of race in Kenya and Fiji and on the ground of creed in Cyprus. In the Straits Settlements the British members of the chambers of commerce in Singapore and Penang elect one European member each. In Ceylon all qualified British subjects are on a common electoral roll for territorial constituencies, and also have a vote, if members of certain communities, for communal representatives.
