HC Deb 06 June 1956 vol 553 c63W
67. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what political parties are to be represented at the Nigeria Constitutional Conference in September; in what proportions they will be represented; whether the All-Nigeria Trade Union Federation will be among those granted representation; whether an agenda for the Conference has been drafted; and when it will be published.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The numbers of the delegations from each region and the Southern Cameroons were agreed at a meeting held last January in Lagos. I am awaiting the proposals of the Nigerian Governments on the division of these numbers among the political parties. It will be for the Conference itself to settle the agenda and any question of its publication.
