HC Deb 02 July 1956 vol 555 c88W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that a delegation from the Somali tribe, the Esa, have arrived in Hargeisa claiming British protection and stating that Ethiopian forces have massacred 400 of their men, women and children; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I have nothing to add yet to the reply which I gave to the hon. Members for Essex, South-East (Mr. Braine) and Wembley, South (Mr. Russell) on 27th June.
