30. Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered a resolution of protest passed at a mass meeting of citizens in Sierra Leone on 15th June, against, and demanding the repeal of, the Sedition, Disaffection and Undesirable Literature Ordinances, passed in the May session of the Legislative Council; and what steps he proposes to take in this matter?
§ The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Malcolm MacDonald)I am deferring further consideration of the Ordinances until I have received the report of the discussions in the Legislative 382 Council. With regard to the rest of the resolution to which the hon. Member refers, I would refer him to the reply which I gave on 12th July to a question by the hon. Member for Winchester (Mr. Palmer).
