§ Captain CAZALETasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the case of Mr. John Hertz and his party, who, on arrival at Kingston, Jamaica, on 25th March last, experienced inconvenience and discourtesy on landing from their aeroplane; and whether he will take steps to inquire into the circumstances of the case?
§ Dr. SHIELSYes, Sir. But the Acting-Governor has made careful inquiry into the circumstances, and has reported that no discourtesy was shown to Mr. John Hertz and his party on landing from their seaplane at Kingston, and that the inevitable inconvenience due to quarantine and Customs procedure was minimised as far as it was practicable to do so.
