HC Deb 05 April 1950 vol 473 c139W
34. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give particulars about the African District Councils Bill recently introduced in the Tanganyika Legislature; to what areas it applies; who is to vote, and by what method; and what powers are to be exercised by the councils.

Mr. J. Griffiths

I am not aware that any such Bill has been introduced in the Tanganyika Legislature. I am, however, inquiring of the Governor and will write to my hon. Friend as soon as I receive a reply.
