§ 29. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what restrictions apply to Mr. Nwahangi of the Kilipula Rice Growers' Union, and why; and what financial provision is being made for his family while he is under these restrictions.
§ Mr. AlportThe Governor is being consulted and my right hon. Friend will write to the hon. Member when a reply is received.
§ Mr. StonehouseWill the Minister bear in mind that there are no reasons for keeping under restraint a responsible co-operative official such as the gentleman named in the Question? Will he also obtain details of the financial provision being made for the family of the person detained?
§ Mr. AlportMy right hon. Friend is in Nyasaland at present, and all matters connected with the emergency are being discussed with the Governor. I think that it would be best to await the outcome of his discussions.
