HC Deb 13 May 1936 vol 312 cc394-5W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Sir John Maffey has presented his report on conditions in the West Indies; and whether such report will be published?

Mr. THOMAS

As explained in my reply to the question by the hon. Member for the Don Valley (Mr. T. Williams) on 4th March, Sir John Maffey was not instructed to investigate specially any of the problems which arise in the West Indian area. In these circumstances I have not considered it necessary to request him to furnish any written report. The latter part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
