HC Deb 06 February 1957 vol 564 cc50-1W
86. Sir R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action he proposes to take on the report of the tribunal appointed to inquire into the conduct of the Prime Minister of Eastern Nigeria in relation to the African Continental Bank.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The House will have seen that, following publication of the Tribunal's Report, the Governor of the Eastern Region was advised by his Ministers to dissolve the Regional House of Assembly. New elections are due to be held on 15th March. I have asked the Governor to pursue with Dr. Azikiwe certain matters arising from the Tribunal's findings and I hope to make a further statement later.
