Part of the debate – in the House of Commons on 8th February 1939.
Mr. M. MacDonald:
With regard to British Guiana, the investigatory Commission which is going to the Colony will begin its inquiries within the next few days. It is impossible to say how long the investigation will take, but it will certainly be a matter of several weeks before the Commission's report can be expected. With regard to Tanganyika, the Governor has already submitted a preliminary report, and the information contained in it has been communicated to the Emigration Committee of the Co-ordinating Committee for Refugees.
