§ Mr. Russellasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what occasions it is permissible to fly in Uganda the Blue and Red Ensigns with the badge of the Protectorate.
§ Mr. HopkinsonUganda is subject to the same rules as other Colonies and Protectorates, as laid down in Colonial Regulations. The flag of the Protectorate is the Union flag, and the Governor's personal flag is the Union flag with the badge of the Territory emblazoned in the centre.
The Blue and Red Ensigns are flags for use on Government and merchant vessels afloat; they are not normally flown by administrative authorities on shore. The British Blue Ensign, with the badge of the Territory emblazoned in the centre, may, however, be used exceptionally for decorative purposes on ceremonial occasions. For example British Blue Ensigns with appropriate individual Colonial badges emblazoned in the centre were flown on certain buildings in London during the Coronation celebrations, and at the "V Day" procession in London, colonial contingents taking part carried their appropriate Blue Ensigns.
