§ 84. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the debate held recently in the Northern Rhodesian Legislative Council upon a motion by Mr. Grant of the Dominion Party, that the Northern Rhodesian African Congress be pro scribed, and that the Chief Secretary, Mr. Hone, denied charges that were alleged against the Congress by Mr. John Roberts, Leader of the European Elected Members; what communication he has had from the Governor-General in this matter; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ProfumoI have seen references in the Press to a debate on such a motion in the Legislative Council of Northern Rhodesia on 27th and 28th November. I have not yet received the Northern Rhodesian daily HANSARD for those days and the Governor has not sent my right hon. Friend any special report. I will gladly send the hon. Member a copy of the HANSARDS as soon as they arrive.
