HC Deb 29 June 1956 vol 555 c75W
Mr. Armstrong

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the disquiet of the Tanganyika and Kenya wild life societies at the proposals made in the Tanganyika Government's White Paper on the Serengeti National Park; that this disquiet is felt also by public opinion, both inside and outside the territories, which fears that the proposals can only lead to the eventual destruction of game in that area; and whether he will arrange that further consideration be given to this matter by the Tanganyika Government before any final decision is reached.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I know that some people are unhappy about these proposals, and I am glad to inform my hon. Friend that the Government of Tanganyika have recently decided, on advice from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Tanganyika National Parks, to set up an impartial Committee to consider the representations that have been made regarding the Government White Paper on the future of the Serengeti National Park.
