HC Deb 04 May 1961 vol 639 c1581
23. Mr. Dugdale

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies under what regulation persons holding meetings in Northern Rhodesia are ordered to take out insurance policies in case of disturbance; and whether it is his intention to continue to compel them so to do.

Mr. Iain Macleod

There are no provisions in Northern Rhodesian law whereby persons holding meetings can be required to take out insurance policies; and there is no record of anyone having been ordered to do so.

Mr. Dugdale

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise that many people in Northern Rhodesia who thought that there were such provisions will be delighted to hear him say so?
