HC Deb 18 April 1956 vol 551 c70W
60. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what decision was reached by the Trusteeship Council on the proposal that target dates should be fixed for constitutional advance in Tanganyika; and how the delegations, including the British delegation, voted.

Mr. Hare

On 2nd April the Trusteeship Council adopted a recommendation that Her Majesty's Government, as the administering authority, should indicate such successive intermediate targets and dates in the political, economic, social and educational fields in Tanganyika as would create conditions for the attainment of self-government or independence. Eight delegations voted for the recommendation; five, including the United Kingdom, voted against. One abstained.
