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

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will implement the recommendations of the Northern Rhodesian Government Commission of Inquiry into the Colour Bar, particularly with respect to those findings concerning the conditions under which Africans are served in post offices and butchers' shops.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Northern Rhodesian Government have accepted most of the recommendations of the Committee appointed to investigate racial discrimination in shops and business premises, including those relating to post offices and butchers' shops. The Committee recommended the setting up of a Statutory Advisory and Conciliation Board, and the Government have now introduced legislation for that purpose.
