HC Deb 26 November 1952 vol 508 c55W
76. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will publish a White Paper containing the achievements in all British Trust Territories since 1945.

Mr. Lyttelton

Our achievements in these territories are described at length in the annual reports which Her Majesty's Government submit to the United Nations. They are also mentioned in the reports on the Colonial Territories generally, which are submitted each year to Parliament.

I fully sympathise with the purpose underlying the question, but in the circumstances I think that the expense and labour of preparing a special report would hardly be justified.
