HC Deb 28 June 1962 vol 661 c1331
4. Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (Central African Office) if he is aware that the Nyasaland Amateur Athletic Association has been compelled to abandon its activities as a result of instructions to missions and schools to boycott it issued by the Minister of Education; what were the reasons for these instructions; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. R. A. Butler

No such instructions have been issued by the Nyasaland Ministry of Education and Social Development.

Mr. Russell

Would my right hon. Friend have another look at this, because my information is that it has been issued and that the director of this organisation, who was originally on a two-year contract, has had to go after only 14 months?

Mr. Butler

Perhaps my hon. Friend will let me have the information in his possession.
