§ 82. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why the Government of Tanganyika has banned public meetings at Tanga which were to be addressed by Julius Nyerere, President of the Tanganyika African National Union.
§ Mr. ProfumoThe meetings at Tanga and elsewhere have been banned because at earlier large open-air meetings the President of the Tanganyika African National Union had made statements which, if repeated at other public assemblies, were, in the opinion of the Commissioner of Police, likely to involve serious risk of breaches of the peace.
