§ 18. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements are being made for Buganda representation in the Uganda Legislative Council, following the successful conclusion of direct elections in other parts of the Protectorate.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Eton and Slough (Mr. Brockway) on 4th November. I have 529 just heard that judgment has been given in the Buganda case before the High Court, and that all declarations claimed by the Katikiro were refused.
§ Mr. StonehouseIn view of the outcome of the Buganda Katikiro case in the Uganda High Court, could not the right hon. Gentleman make arrangements for direct elections to be held in Buganda, similar to those held elsewhere in the Protectorate?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI must await the comments of the Governor on the judgment. I have only just heard about the judgment. I very much hope that the Buganda Electoral College will perform its prescribed electoral constitutional functions when called upon to do so.
