HC Deb 12 May 1954 vol 527 c71W
44. Mr. Hale

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many charges have been preferred in British Guiana with reference to the alleged seditious activities of the People's Progressive Party; and in how many cases convictions have been recorded.

Mr. Lyttelton

Two charges were preferred. The jury acquitted one man and since charges against the other were of a similar nature, the Crown decided not to proceed with the prosecution.
