HC Deb 01 February 1956 vol 548 c114W
63. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the disturbances in Sierra Leone.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Wakefield on 25th January. Since then I have had reports of further disturbances in the Kambia and Port Loko Districts, in which five people have died. I hope to be able to announce shortly the composition and terms of reference of the Commission of Inquiry which will investigate these regrettable events.
