HC Deb 19 December 1947 vol 445 c462W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that Daudi Musoke (Mukabira) was deported from his home and is prevented from returning because of having written a book containing statements mostly quoted from British writers; why he was not charged and tried for this offence; and as this man founded the Buganda Co-operative Society and did good work there, if he will, in view of a letter from this deportee dated 21st November, 1947, which has been submitted to him, remedy this position.

Mr. Rees-Williams

Daudi Musoke was deported after the murder of the Prime Minister of Buganda in 1945 and is detained on general security grounds, and not for writing the book in question. His case is subject to quarterly review and in this connection I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my predecessor gave on 7th November, 1945, to my hon. Friend the Member for East Harrow (Mr. Skinnard). I am sending the hon. Member a copy of this reply
