HC Deb 07 April 1948 vol 449 cc16-7W
18. Mr. Wilkes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the new African representatives on the Legislative Council of Northern Rhodesia will be appointed in time for them to attend the African Conference to be held in London in September, 1948.

Mr. Creech Jones

The new African representatives on the Legislative Council will be appointed shortly before the date of the Conference in London. The membership of the delegation which is then to represent Northern Rhodesia is a matter for settlement in consultation between the Governor and members of the Legislative Council and, so far as I know, has not yet been decided.
