HC Deb 01 August 1957 vol 574 c243W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the progress so far made in discussions regarding Northern Rhodesian constitutional reform; when he will appoint a commission; and what will be its terms of reference.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The consultations to which I referred in my replies to the hon. Member on 6th and 13th February are continuing in private, as has been stated by the Governor in his Address to Legislative Council on 17th June. The Governor has not proposed the appointment of a commission.
