HC Deb 13 June 1956 vol 554 cc27-8W
55. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give an assurance that the numbers of the delegations and the bodies in Nigeria recognised as entitled to delegates as determined at the meeting in January at Lagos are subject to revision or extension where it can be shown that important new organisations have either come into existence or have greatly expanded in recent months.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Lagos meeting fixed only the numbers of the Nigerian delegations. It is agreed that all shades of political opinion should be represented, and I have no doubt that in proposing the division of these numbers the Nigerian Governments will take into account the claim of all organisations, new or old.
