asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can state whether the claim of Mr. C. M. Morrison, an ex-planter, of Tanganyika Territory, for a free pardon has been considered on any occasion by the governor of Tanganyika Territory; and, if not, whether any request is now to be made to him by His Majesty's Government to consider this claim?

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; the second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
