Answer:

Explanation:

Sir Edward Hilton Young was the Head of the Young Committee.

A commission of inquiry known as the Hilton Young Commission was established in 1926 to examine the possibility of a tighter unity between the British colonies in East and Central Africa. These were each economically underdeveloped, and it was proposed that joining forces in some way would save money while also accelerating their development. The Commission advocated for an administrative union of the mainland countries of East Africa, with a future possibility of Central African states joining as well. Additionally, it advocated for the continuation of the parliament in each region and viewed any kind of self-government as a long-term goal.However, it rejected the idea that European minority in Kenya or Northern Rhodesia may seize political power there, as well as the Asians in Kenya's demand for equal voting rights to Europeans. Closer linkages in East Africa were formed in the 1940s, despite the Commission's recommendations for an administrative union not being implemented right once. The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was formed in 1953 as a result of this report's encouragement of greater collaboration between European settlers in Central Africa and Southern Rhodesia.

The chairman, Sir Edward Hilton Young, felt that the main economic and political interests of the two territories lay in association with Southern Rhodesia, despite the fact that the majority of the Hilton Young Commission emphasised the connection between Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, and East Africa.
