§ 22. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that Africans have complained in Lusaka that they are afraid to go home to, and afraid to go go out at night in, places like the Chibolya township because of the danger of assault by political terrorists armed with knobkerries and axes; what measures are being taken in Northern Rhodesia to defend British-protected persons from such intimidation; and what reports have been received as to the identity of its organisers.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThere has recently been some fear of violence in African townships because of disputes between political factions. Although the efforts of the police to prevent intimidation and identify those responsible have been hampered by the absence of any specific complaints, the trouble has now died down.
