HC Deb 08 May 1958 vol 587 c1396
36. Mr. Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what charges Hadji Mahomed, known as Shekallah, was arrested in Hargeisa some months ago; where he is now held under arrest; and when he will be brought to trial.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Hadji Mahomed, "Shekallah", has not been arrested. During the labour strike in Hargeisa in January an order was served on him under the Unsettled Areas Ordinance requiring him to remove himself from Hargeisa and to reside at Las Dureh in Burao District for a year, or until the revocation of the order.

Mr. Callaghan

While thanking the right hon. Gentleman for that information, may I ask him if he is aware that it is directly contrary to that which I have received?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Mine is accurate.
