§ Mr. AlportEntry into Basutoland is governed by the Entry and Residence Proclamation, 1958, as amended. Entry into the Union of South Africa from Basutoland is governed by the law of the Union. I am not aware that any difficulty has arisen.
§ Mr. StonehouseIs the Minister of State aware that the last point in his Answer is the crucial one; that distinguished people like Mr. Tom Mboya have been prevented from going to this British Protectorate by the Pretoria Administration? What does he intend to do to prevent this discrimination?
§ Mr. AlportI understand from the Press that the Union Secretary of the Interior has said that the Administration did not refuse Mr. Mboya permission to land, since no permission was sought.
