HC Deb 30 January 1929 vol 224 c960W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, seeing that it is a principle of British overseas administration that there can, in law, be no discrimination in British citizenship resting upon race, creed, or colour, he can say how many legislative bodies under the control of the Colonial Office incorporate inhabitants other than immigrant white races; and how many and which of these legislative bodies are composed solely of immigrant white races?
