§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations and the Colonies, in view of the deteriorating political situation in Aden and in the South Arabian Federation, what steps he is now taking to eliminate the internal stresses and strains which have developed among the staff of Her Majesty's High Commissioner, Sir K. Trevaskis, details of which have been submitted to him twice by the hon. Member for Arundel and Shoreham, and which are prejudicing the efficiency of the High Commission.

§ Mr. SandysI am satisfied that the High Commission is performing its difficult task with the utmost efficiency. I am sorry that my hon. and gallant Friend should seek to create a contrary impression. The two letters he wrote me were concerned with one individual case of an official who has asked to be moved to another territory.
