HC Deb 27 October 1953 vol 518 c352W
Mr. Benn

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken against the ring-leader of the plot whose existence in British Guiana was recently described in official statements made by Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Lyttelton

As I stated in the debate on 22nd October, the Attorney-General of British Guiana is considering whether it is possible to prefer criminal charges against any of the persons concerned in the plot to set fire to business property and residences in Georgetown.
