HC Deb 20 October 1954 vol 531 c1203
29. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action is proposed to implement the Moffat resolutions adopted by the Northern Rhodesian Legislative Council.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Her Majesty's Government and the Government of Northern Rhodesia heartily welcome these resolutions. In continuing to shape its policy in accordance with them, the Northern Rhodesia Government will be greatly encouraged by the impressive demonstration of support which the resolutions received from the Legislative Council.

Mr. Robinson

Will the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that he will do his best to ensure that these resolutions are implemented not only for Northern Rhodesia, but also for other areas of Africa for which he is responsible?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Conditions vary in many places. I welcome these resolutions, but I would constantly remind hon. Members that racial harmony is brought about not only by political action but also by good behaviour by all races.
