HC Deb 20 July 1937 vol 326 cc1999-2000W
Mr. Thurtle

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether conditions in the Rhodesian copper belt are now quiet, and whether any restrictions are in operation against the activities of the religious sect known as Jehovah's Witnesses?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I have received no reports recently to suggest that conditions in the copper belt are other than quiet. As regards the second part of the question, the only restriction in force is that the importation of any literature of the Watch Tower Society is prohibited if in any instance the Government of Northern Rhodesia considers such literature to be definitely subversive.
