HC Deb 08 May 1957 vol 569 c946
2. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what discussions he has had with the European, African and Asian members of the Uganda Legislative Council regarding the wishes of the Representative Members to have elections in the Protectorate during 1957.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As I informed the hon. Member in reply to his Question on 3rd April, I have had no discussions, but discussions are continuing in Uganda.

Mr. Stonehouse

In view of the fact that all the representative members of all communities in Uganda are agreed that elections should be held in the Protectorate, will not the Secretary of State agree to meet them?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

That was not the information brought to me by the letter. It related to the fact that if something happened in Buganda, it should happen throughout the Protectorate. The key to the problem is progress with the Buganda review, which is now being renewed.
