§ 71. Mr. W. R. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make a report on "Colonial Month," in London, which has come to an end.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsMy right hon. Friend feels confident that "Colonial Month" has done much towards the end in view, which was to stimulate greater interest in Colonial peoples and a better understanding of our fellowship with them. We have been greatly helped by all the organisations and firms who participated, and by those who displayed our posters, and are grateful for their interest and assistance. Attendance to date at the Colonial Exhibition is 250,000 and is a record for this site; the Exhibition continues to draw large crowds and in consequence it has been decided to keep it open for a further period.
