HC Deb 05 May 1937 vol 323 cc1172-3W
Mr. McGhee

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he will take the opportunity of the visit of the Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia to make it clear that His Majesty's Government is not prepared to remove its right to veto legislation which discriminates against natives?

Marquess of Hartington

It will be seen from the despatch from the Governor of Southern Rhodesia which was published in the Parliamentary Paper Cmd. 5218, that the views of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom on this point were made clear to the Southern Rhodesian Government in the discussions which took place prior to the recent amendment of the Constitution.
