§ 5. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that there are secondary schools in the Bahamas subsidised by the Government in which there is still a colour discrimination and all coloured pupils are prohibited from attending; and if he will take steps to have this bar removed.
Mr. Creech JonesThere are four secondary schools in the Bahamas, one maintained by the Bahamas Government, one Government-assisted (Queen's College) and two non-assisted. Two of these schools are entirely attended by coloured pupils. Coloured pupils are not prohibited from attending the other two and I understand that each of them has coloured pupils at the present time.
