§ 34. Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number and names of Africans in Northern Rhodesia who are excluded from the Copperbelt under restriction orders; how many of these are members of the African Mineworkers' Union; how many other than miners are members of the African National Congress; what provision has been made for their wives and families; how many have been given the opportunity to present their cases to a High Court judge; and how many have been legally represented.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydSixty-one Africans are at present excluded from the Copper-belt. I will circulate in the OFFICIAL. REPORT a list of their names with details of membership of the African Mineworkers' Trade Union and the African National Congress. Those restricted have open to them the normal means of livelihood in the respective areas, and District Commissioners have been authorised to pay subsistence allowances in cases of proved hardship. All have been given 1113 the opportunity to present their cases to a High Court judge and the hearing of the cases is now in progress. No one has so far availed himself of his right to be legally represented.
§ Mr. BrockwayIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in this large number of 63 persons who have been deported from the Copperbelt a number of them are not even members of the Mine Workers' Union which was engaged in this strike? Is the right hon. Gentleman further aware that some of them are quite respected members of the African National Congress? Will he not take steps to end these conditions which were applied during an emergency which has now ceased?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydCertainly not. The emergency arose because of the imaginative effort being made to lead to African advancement, and, in my capacity as a trustee in this matter, like the Government of Northern Rhodesia, I have no intention of allowing this progressive and liberal movement of African advancement to be jeopardised.
