asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the accommodation officially arranged for Colonel Poindexter of the United States Public Service in Nairobi last December after attending the World Health Congress at Kampala; and why he was treated differently from his colleagues on arrival.

Dr. Poindexter attended the Malaria Conference in Kampala last year as an observer on behalf of the United States Government, but I have no information about the arrangements for his accommodation in Nairobi. If my hon. Friend would care to let me have the evidence on which his Question is based, I will gladly look into the matter.
