HC Deb 08 April 1936 vol 310 c2791W
Lieut.-Commander FLETCHER

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the promised census of the Masarwa slaves of Bechuanaland has yet been taken; and, if so, when does he expect to receive a report upon the matter?

Mr. M. MacDONALD

This census is now in progress, and I understand that up to January last over 2,000 Masarwa had been recorded. It is not possible to say when the work will be completed.
