The Colonial Secretary, Mr Malcolm MacDonald, speaking in the House of Commons today, on the Colonial Office vote, referred in appreciative terms to the work of the Bledisloe Commission in Rhodesia and Nyasaland, and the Moyne Commission in the West Indies. He also paid a tribute to the work of Lord Haley in connection with his great African sursurvey. Mr MacDonald added: “Our primary objective in the colonies is not the advancement of selfish interests of the people of Britain. It is the advancement of the interests of the people of the colonies themselves.” While there was no room for complacency, he concluded, much had been accomplished, and in all the colonies expansion of social services .was going ahead.
