HC Deb 22 February 1956 vol 549 c34W
54. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what incidents have made necessary the section of the Tanganyika Penal Code Amendment Ordinance which prescribes penalties for incitement to violence.

Mr. Hare

No particular incident inspired the amendment in question. When occasion arose to amend the penal code the Tanganyika Government decided to incorporate a provision making incitement to violence a crime punishable with up to three years' imprisonment in view of the general desirability of discouraging such acts.
