Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements have been made in the African Dependencies in the matter of clothing, allowances, tools, travelling and restoration to civil life of Africans honourably discharged from the Army and other Fighting Services?
§ Colonel StanleyThe responsibility for arranging clothing, allowances and travelling on discharge rests with the appropriate Service authorities. I am making inquiries on this point, and will communicate further with my hon. Friend later. I am also obtaining from the civil Governments precise information as to the arrangements for restoration to civil life, including the provision of tools. They are fully alive to the problem, and I would refer to the answer I gave to the hon. Member on 12th May, about Africans discharged owing to injuries.
