§ Mr Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs if he will state the number of white and coloured citizens in Rhodesia, and the education and industrial facilities available to and used by coloured and white citizens, respectively.
§ Mr. BowdenThe estimated population of Rhodesia at 31st December, 1965 was Africans 4,080,000, Europeans 224,000, coloureds 13,000 and Asians 8,100. It is not possible within the com-264W pass of a Parliamentary Answer to give a comprehensive account of the facilities available to the respective races, but I am arranging for copies of the latest available reports of the Rhodesian Ministry of Education and Department of African Education to be placed in the Library of the House.
