HC Deb 20 October 1954 vol 531 c1208
34. Sir R. Acland

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many people in Northern Nigeria are imprisoned, or otherwise detained awaiting trial, charged with offences of a political character; and, of these, how many have been so detained for periods of over two and of over four weeks.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

If the hon. Member will let me know what specific categories of offence he has in mind, I will obtain the information for him. On 1st October, no one was in prison or detained pending trial on charges of sedition or unlawful assembly.
