§ 4. Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will introduce legislation to suspend the Constitution of Southern Rhodesia, in view of the dangers of the situation arising from the arrest of unemployed Africans, the mobilisation of the territorial forces, and the proposed limitation of African membership in the Legislature to five in 50.
§ Mr. SandysNo, Sir.
§ Mr. BrockwayIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this Question was tabled before the developments of this week on which, if I may, I should like to give him qualified congratulations? When the Constitutional Conference takes place, will the right hon. Gentleman seek to ensure that the Africans have adequate representation and are not represented by only two of the representatives of the National Democratic Party out of the 24 or 26 who are likely to be there?
§ Mr. SandysThere are several Questions on the Order Paper on that point.
