Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what answer he has given to the letter sent to him upon 1st October by Racial Unity regarding the appointment of a committee of inquiry into the position of coloured people in Great Britain.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I am informing the President of Racial Unity that their proposal for a committee of inquiry into the position of coloured people in the United Kingdom, and the other matters referred to in their letter, are being carefully studied in my Department, and that a further letter will be sent to them after consultation with the other Ministries that are concerned with the affairs of these citizens while they are living and working in this country.
