§ 19. Mr. Parkinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the declared aims of the Buganda Mirembe movement; and what is his attitude towards these aims.
Mr. Creech JonesI am consulting the Acting Governor on the subject and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as I have received his reply.
§ Mr. ParkinIs my right hon. Friend aware that this movement originated to defend the interests of tribal chiefs whose powers were declining even before the British came in, and would he give an answer indicating his attitude to the statement of its aims, lest this movement results in a series of political claims of a contradictory character?
