HC Deb 15 May 1958 vol 588 c579
4. Mr. E. L. Mallalieu

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent the recommendations of the last Parliamentary delegation to Fernando Po have been implemented by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The views of the Spanish authorities on the delegation's recommendations have recently been received and are being examined by the Federal Government.

Mr. Mallalieu

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that as recently as this year responsible people, like the Government Chief Whip in the Eastern Region of Nigeria—and I am sure he must be a responsible person, as all Government Chief Whips are—have been saying that there is still considerable maltreatment of Nigerians in Fernando Po?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I will answer another question about this when we get the views of the Spanish authorities.
