§ 77. Lady Noel-Buxtonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make an inquiry into the operation of the game laws in East Africa, with special reference to whether he is satisfied that these laws are understood by the native populations and that Africans are able, without firearms, to defend their crops against wild animals.
Mr. Creech JonesI have recently invited the East African Governments to review the present position in relation to game and the operation of the Game Laws in East Africa. The question of the protection of native crops against wild animals is one of the matters which will call for consideration in connection with this review.
