On the 19th June, the long awaited reports of the Asquith Commission and the Elliot Commission were published as Cmd. 6647 and 6655. The Asquith Report (2/-) contains 119 pages with tables: the Elliot Report (3/-) is even longer 190 pages with tables, maps and plans. Members will appreciate the work of Mr. Hussey, a former Director of Education in Nigeria, who has kindly summarised the main findings, in the hope of stimulating the public of both Britain and West Africa to study the full Reports.
