§ 2. Mr. John Hallasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what reports he has received of increasing Egyptian propaganda in Northern Nigeria.
§ Mr. MaclayThe World Islamic Congress, whose headquarters are in Cairo, has shown some activity, but the Northern People's Congress, the majority party in Northern Nigeria, have made it clear that they have no affiliation with this body and no intention to commit the region to any political bloc outside the British Commonwealth.
§ Mr. HallCan my right hon. Friend tell me whether there has been any positive action taken by Her Majesty's Government to counter any Egyptian propaganda that may be gaining ground in this area?
§ Mr. MaclayIn that part of the world I am quite certain that the local Ministers can be relied on.
