§ 37. Mr. Rileyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the embargo which was placed upon the five officials of the Jamaica Peoples' National Party in October, 1942, from carrying on their political work has now been lifted?
§ Colonel StanleyNo, Sir, not so far as I am aware.
§ Mr. RileyIs the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that the five persons referred to were appointed to carry on a political campaign for self-government in the island? Was not such a purpose quite legitimate?
§ Colonel StanleyI have already answered exactly the same question which the hon. Member put last month. It was in connection with acting in a manner prejudicial to the public safety, and had no reference to the controversy about constitutional methods.
