HC Deb 28 November 1956 vol 561 c45W
102. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will ensure that the Northern Rhodesian Government will invite the views of the Northern Rhodesian African Congress regarding the proposed constitutional changes in that territory.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I am sure that the Governor would obtain the views of all sections of the community before submitting to Her Majesty's Government any proposals for constitutional changes. There are members of Congress in the Legislative Council and on the various Councils established to ensure that the views of all the African peoples of Northern Rhodesia can be obtained; and the hon. Member need have no fear that their views will not be freely invited frankly expressed and fully considered.
