§ Major Wilkesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the representation of Africans on the Legislative Council of Nyasaland is to be considered in the near future.
§ Mr. George HallThe machinery for securing representation of Africans by Africans on the Legislative Council of Nyasaland is already in process of being built up. Three African Provincial Councils have been established and have been very successful. The Councils are at present in session, and the Governor has informed them that an African Council for the whole Protectorate comprising representatives nominated by the Provincial Councils is to be established next year. It is hoped that as soon as practicable African representatives on the Legislative Council will be nominated from the members of the Protectorate African Council. At present one of the six unofficial members, the Bishop of Nyasaland, has the special responsibility among the unofficial of representing African interests.
