HC Deb 26 October 1949 vol 468 c148W
37. Mr. C. Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will draw the attention of the Governments of the East African territories to the educational practice of British Guiana; and whether he will recommend, in the light of this study, that they should reconsider the policy of racial segregation in secondary schools now pursued in East Africa.

Mr. Creech Jones

The differences between the historical and cultural backgrounds of British Guiana and of the East African Territories are so fundamental that I do not think that any useful comparison can be made.
