HC Deb 25 March 1946 vol 421 c30
67. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether His Majesty's assent has now been given to the Natives Registration and Accommodation Act of Southern Rhodesia, against which representations were made on the grounds that it contained provisions for discriminatory measures against the native population.

Mr. Parker

The Act as passed by the Southern Rhodesia legislature has just been receiver), and is being considered. As regards the representations to which my hon. Friend refers, I may explain that the provisions as to registration are in the main a re-enactment of a previous law and that the chief modification in these made by the Act is one which will be in the interests of the natives.
