HC Deb 07 March 1956 vol 549 c197W
63 and 64. Mr. Skeffington

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) what are the reasons for the Tanganyika Government's refusal to allow the Tanganyika Africa National Union to reopen its branch in Sukumaland;

(2) why the Morogoro branch of the Tanganyika African National Union has been refused registration under the Societies Ordinance by the Government of Tanganyika.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

No recent application has been received by the Registrar of Societies for the registration of a branch of the Tanganyika African National Union in Sukumaland, although some time ago registration was refused to certain branches in the area because the registrar was satisfied that they were being used for purposes prejudicial to the maintenance of peace, order and good government. This decison was welcomed by the great majority of the African population in the area. A branch of the union in Morogoro was registered on 15th February.
