asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the review of legislative and administrative racial discrimination in the Colonies undertaken by his predecessor has been completed; and whether it will be published.

Copies of the survey of differential treatment by race in the laws of British tropical African territories were placed in the Library in August. A similar survey in regard to the non-African territories will be made available to the House later, when consultations with the Governors are completed.

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman, in view of the very great importance of this report, whether he will consider publishing it in the form of a White Paper or in another way?

I think the hon. Gentleman and others interested had better first look at the documents in the Library. They already amount to some 50 or 60 pages, and it is open to further consideration whether the documents in the Library, at this stage, with the Reports already presented, are not adequate for the purposes which we all have in mind.
