HC Deb 04 May 1955 vol 540 c1667
12. Mr. Beresford Craddock

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how far the report of the delegation which recently visited Tanganyika has been accepted by the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations organisation; and what recommendations the Council made with regard to the future administration of the Territory.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I am arranging to place in the Library of the House a copy of the Report adopted by the Trusteeship Council following its discussions on Tanganyika. The Council did not endorse the major political recommendations of the Visiting Mission, in particular the proposal to establish a time-table for political advance.

Mr. Brockway

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when printed reports of this document will be published? So far only mimeographed copies have been available, and in only a very limited number.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

It is not my responsibility, as the hon. Gentleman knows, but I will do what I can in my own constitutional position to accelerate publication here.

Forward to
