HC Deb 21 November 1951 vol 494 c54W
95. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies for what reason the Belize City Council, British Honduras, has been disbanded and replaced by an entirely nominated body.

Mr. Lyttelton

The Governor dissolved the council on account of certain acts of disloyalty to the Crown by the majority party in the council in their official capacity. In announcing his decision, the Governor made it clear that this was a purely temporary measure, and that fresh elections would be held in due course.
