HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 cc195-6W
Mr. Wilkes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether there are any plans for the establishment of a Government secondary school in Northern Rhodesia for Europeans; and whether he will adopt the principle that no child shall be excluded from such Government-aided schools on racial grounds.
