40. Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is able to make a statement on the deportation to another part of Uganda of Samwiri S. Wanda, lately principal Minister.
§ Colonel StanleyYes, Sir. Samwiri Wamala has been deported by the Governor, with the concurrence of the Kabaka, by an Order under the Deportation Ordinance. This Order was made as a consequence of the disturbances last January and as a measure of security pending the report of the Commission of Inquiry to which I referred in my reply on 31st January to the hon. and gallant Member for North St. Pancras (Wing-Commander Grant-Ferris).
Mr. Creech JonesWill the right hon. and gallant Gentleman say whether it is suspected that this man was one of the instigators in the recent disturbances?
§ Colonel StanleyI am anxious not to express an ex parte opinion of that kind before the decision of this Commission of Inquiry.
