HL Deb 04 April 1979 vol 399 c1975WA
Lord BARNBY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many countries in Africa which have emerged from colonial status to independence now have freely elected genuine Westminster-style parliamentary Governments.

Lord GORONWY-ROBERTS

Few African countries have adopted the precise constitutional arrangements of the former colonial power. They have tended to develop systems to meet their individual requirements.
