HC Deb 06 April 1949 vol 463 c184W
41. Mr. Pritt

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps he is taking to correct the report officially put before the United Nations Trusteeship Council on 11th March to the effect that Tanganyika is being converted into a fortified base.

Mr. Rees-Williams

This allegation, which is completely without foundation, has been formally denied in the Trusteeship Council by the United Kingdom Representative. My right hon. Friend considers that no further steps are necessary to correct it.
