To ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make an inexpensive start in the direction of facilitating the study of Colonial Reports, by appending to Reports upon Northern and Southern Nigeria the map contained in the Colonial Office list for 1906; and to Reports upon British East Africa, the map contained in the pamphlet upon that Protectorate which has been issued by the Emigrants' Information Office. (Answered by Mr. Runciman.) The Secretary of State will arrange, if possible, to have the maps in question, or similar maps, appended to the Reports. But it must not be forgotten that many, if not most, of the readers of these Reports are familiar with the geography, and may not appreciate the additional cost which the maps will entail.
