HC Deb 26 January 1949 vol 460 cc135-6W
95. Mr. Byers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has drawn the attention of all Colonial Governments to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and what changes such Governments have made, and propose to make, in their existing legislation, particularly legislation concerned with such matters as censorship and deportation, in order to give effect to the principles laid down in the Universal Declaration.

Mr. Creech Jones

Colonial Governments were consulted throughout the various stages of the preparation of the Declaration. As regards the second part of the Question, I have nothing to add to the reply given to the hon. Member on 18th of January by the Prime Minister. Colonial Governments will continue to work towards the ultimate ideals expressed in the Declaration.
