31. Mr. Storehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what discussions he is proposing to have with the Governments and elected members of Tanganyika and Nyasaland with regard to the future status of the Nyasaland Protectorate, in view of concern in Tanganyika about the future relations between these neighbouring territories.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydNone, Sir.
§ Mr. StonehouseIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is very great concern in Tanganyika about the state of tension in Nyasaland, in view of the fact that these countries share a common frontier? Will he consult representative leaders from Tanganyika, in particular Mr. Nyerere, about the position in Nyasaland? Is not he aware that people in Tanganyika are as concerned as any other State would be about the possibility of there being an undemocratic State on their frontier?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThose concerned with the government of the vast territory of Tanganyika have plenty to occupy their minds in their own territory.
