HC Deb 10 December 1947 vol 445 c206W
86. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state the circumstances of the case in which a European in Northern Rhodesia was fined 10s. for shooting and drunkenness at a Customs post on the Congo border; whether the inquiry by the Chief Justice into the prosecution for perjury of an African involved in the case has now been completed; and what action is likely to be taken in the report.

Mr. Rees-Williams

I have no knowledge of the incident referred to but I am asking the Governor for a report and I will communicate with my hon. Friend when this has been received.
