HC Deb 04 May 1937 vol 323 c941
3. Mr. Ammon

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the Sedition Act in Southern Rhodesia, which is directed against speeches and publications which are calculated to excite hostile feelings against Europeans, contains any provision against speeches and publications calculated to excite such feelings against natives?

Mr. M. MacDonald

Yes, Sir. The relevant section of the Act defines a seditious intention as meaning an intention to engender or promote feelings of hostility between the European inhabitants of the Colony on the one hand and any other section of the inhabitants of the Colony on the other hand or to engender or promote feelings of hostility to or contempt of any class of the inhabitants of the Colony on account of race or colour.
