HC Deb 24 May 1950 vol 475 c241W
34. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered the request of the African Council for the Western Areas of Northern Rhodesia that the number of African members of the Legislative Council should be increased from two to eight and that one of these should be appointed to the Executive Council; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Dugdale

As my right hon. Friend has not yet received the advice of the Acting Governor with respect to this matter, he is calling for a report on it. In the meantime, I have no statement to make.
