HC Deb 12 December 1956 vol 562 c48W
84. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number of members of the Northern Rhodesian African Congress who are members of the Legislative Council; the numbers who sit upon other official councils, stating what these particular councils are; and how he will ensure that their views upon future constitutional change will be obtained.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

There are four members of the African National Congress in the Legislative Council. I am asking the Governor how many known members of Congress are on the African Representative Council, the six African Provincial Councils, the Native Authority Councils and the Urban Advisory Councils and I will write to the hon. Member. As for the assurance sought I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 28th November.
