§ Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many local branches of the Tanganyika African National Union have been banned; and 150W which of these are in constituencies where elections for Legislative Council will be held this year.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI would refer to my reply of 29th April. The Iringa and Korogwe branches, which have been declared unlawful, are in the Southern Highlands and Tanga constituencies respectively. The Lushoto branch, which was refused permission to register last year, is also in the Tanga constituency. The activities of the Morogoro District branch in the Eastern Province constituency are now restricted only in two-sub-Chiefdoms. There are no restraints on electioneering within these areas where elections are to be held this year by representatives from other registered branches of the union.
