asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the expression by the Northern Rhodesian African Congress of no confidence in the European member representing African interests on the Select Committee on Immigration, an African member may now be appointed.

This is a Select Committee of the Legislative Council; it is within the jurisdiction of that Council to decide what the membership of its Select Committee is to be. As far as I am aware, the Council does not intend to make any changes in this instance.
