HC Deb 26 July 1950 vol 478 c68W
115. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why Dr. Azikwe was not allowed to enter the Gold Coast to take part in the celebrations of the Convention People's Party; and if he is aware of the bitterness that has been caused by this regulation.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The Gold Coast Government decided that it was not in the public interest that Dr. Azikiwe should visit the Gold Coast for the purpose of attending this political meeting. No reactions to this decision have been reported to me.
