HC Deb 03 March 1959 vol 601 c206
47. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what further developments have taken place in Uganda in respect of the political claims of Buganda.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

A resolution passed by the Buganda Lukiko on 5th December, 1958. seeking termination of the Buganda Agreements and the surrender of the powers of protection was not approved by the Governor. A memorandum addressed to Her Majesty The Queen by the Lukiko, with a covering letter by the Kabaka, has been received, and I am consulting the Governor about it before tendering advice to Her Majesty.

Mr. Sorensen

Is anything being done to try to reconcile the rival claims of Buganda on the one hand and the rest of Uganda on the other?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We always try to do that.
