§ Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what was the question asked in the recent referendum in Swazi- 50W land for which those in favour voted for the lion and those against for the reindeer.
§ Mr. SandysAs my hon. Friend stated in reply to the hon. Member on 11th February, the ballot paper contained no questions. However it was generally understood that a vote for the lion was a vote of confidence for the Ngwenyama. It is not clear what was the precise significance of a vote for the reindeer.
