HC Deb 30 March 1949 vol 463 c106W
20. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why local leave in Nigeria is in future to be restricted to expatriate officials of the Senior Service, whereas previously all senior officials were entitled to such leave; and what is the reason for this discrimination.

Mr. Rees-Williams

Rules for local leave are primarily a matter for the Nigerian Government, but I will inquire about the point raised and write to my hon. Friend.
