HC Deb 25 July 1957 vol 574 c75W
69. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will reconsider the decision not to name a date for the independence of Nigeria in view of the demand of political parties in the Colony for the inauguration of independence on 2nd April, 1960.

Mr. Profumo

No. The question was fully discussed at the Conference and the reasons for the inability of Her Majesty's Government to set a date now for independence are set out at length in paragraphs 48–54 of the Report. (Cmnd. 207).
