HC Deb 19 March 1953 vol 513 cc25-6W
70. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Common wealth Relations if he has now come to a decision as to who is to be invited to represent the Bamangwato tribe of Bechuanaland at the Coronation.

Mr. J. Foster

In view of the unavoidable limitations on numbers it is impracticable for all the tribes in the territories to be represented at the Coronation. The Bechuanaland Protectorate will be represented by Chief Kgari Sechele of the Bakwena tribe, the senior Chief of the Protectorate. Basutoland and Swaziland will likewise each have one representative.
