§ Sir J. WITHERSasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government are considering the appointment of women to the committees associated with the forthcoming Colonial Conference?
§ Mr. LUNNI have been asked to reply to this question. The representatives at the Colonial Office Conference are Governors and senior officials from the Colonies, Protectorates and Mandated Territories. The question of the appointment of women to the committees of the Conference therefore does not rise.
