§ 3. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the people evacuated from Tristan da Cunha desire to return to their island home; in view of their uncertainty about the position on the island, if he will now state the exact position; and if he will assess possibilities of an early return for these people.
§ Mr. MaudlingI believe that at the moment some would like to return to Tristan. I am awaiting the preliminary report of the Royal Society Expedition so that I may consider the position.
