HC Deb 16 June 1954 vol 528 cc1950-1
41. Mr. Dugdale

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it was upon his instructions that the British Resident in Buganda ordered the Regents to use the royal motor cars.

Mr. Lyttelton

No, Sir. The Resident did not order the Regents to use the royal cars. He did however suggest that in order to make it easier for the police to recognise the Regents when appearing at official functions they should use not the Kabaka's private cars but the official cars provided for his use by the Buganda Government. These cars are exempted from registration and carry no number plates. The Regents did not wish to accept this suggestion and it was not pressed.
