Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any further statement to make on the Burutu riot of 21st June, 1947, in the light of subsequent trials; and whether he is satisfied that the incident was properly handled by the police.

I understand that the Acting Governor of Nigeria is at present considering a request for an inquiry into the incident.
