HC Deb 26 March 1959 vol 602 c1514
31. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many applications for sites to build clubs and hotels on the northern shore of Lake Kariba have been received by the Lake Kariba Coordinating Committee.

Mr. J. Amery

Applications have been received for one club site and four hotel sites.

Mr. Rankin

Will the hon. Gentleman keep in mind that this huge inland lake will be the scene of great commercial and social activity in Central Africa and that in many ways we are starting ab initio? Will he use all his influence to see, as far as he can, that the colour bar is abandoned?

Mr. Amery

We shall do everything we can, both there and throughout the area, to diminish colour bars, in so far as they still exist.
