§ 20. Mr. Skinnardasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies by what method of selection the two new African and one new Asiatic members are to be appointed to the Legislative Council of Nyasaland.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsThe Africans will be appointed by the Governor from a panel of five chosen by the Protectorate Council and the Asiatic member from a panel of three chosen by the Indian Chamber of Commerce.
§ Mr. SkinnardIs the Under-Secretary aware that, although there has been considerable dissatisfaction expressed by some Africans at this method it is the opinion of the majority of the people that the method adopted is the better and fairer method?
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsI agree with the latter part of that supplementary question, but I had not heard that there was considerable dissatisfaction with the method adopted. My information was to the contrary.
