§ 61. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give the total votes cast at the General Elections in Mauritius in 1953, for the Labour, Independent Labour, Ralliement, and Independent Ralliement candidates, respectively.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI would refer the hon. Member to the figures contained in my reply of 16th November to the hon. Member for Essex, South-East (Mr. Braine). It is impossible to give any accurate analysis of the votes cast for the Independent candidates as supporters of either the Mauritius Labour Party or the Ralliement since such candidates contested seats with both these parties.
