HC Deb 04 May 1955 vol 540 c1661
1. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will report on the results of his conversations with the Governor of Nyasaland on constitutional changes in that Territory.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Alan Lennox-Boyd)

My conversations with the Governor are still in progress.

Mr. Brockway

Will the right hon. Gentleman, in those discussions with the Governor, urge the right of African membership of the Executive Council and election to the Legislative Council in view of the very great importance of African encouragement within the general area of Central Africa?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I think it would be both unwise and improper to give any indication of the way in which the conversations are proceeding.
