§ 65. Mr. Pageasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that in Colonial territories in which the Colonial Government is progressing towards self-government, such progress is often hampered and Government actions and intentions falsified by reason of the restrictions placed upon officials against giving political advice; and whether he will consider the relaxation of such restrictions.
§ Mr. ProfumoI am not aware of any such difficulties; it is of course part of the normal duties of administrative, information and other officers to explain government policies to the general public.
