HC Deb 23 January 1957 vol 563 c39W
Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what further information he has now received about the charge on which Mr. Daniel Crowley was arrested on 12th September, 1956, at Ketwe, Northern Rhodesia.

Mr. Profumo

I regret that in reply to a similar Question on 24th October my right hon. Friend implied that the charge against Mr. Crowley was that of publishing a false report. As I have since explained in a letter to the hon. Member, the charge against Mr. Crowley was in fact that of publishing a report likely to prejudice public tranquillity; and the falsity of Mr. Crowley's statements was relevant to that charge.
