§ 60. Mr. Brockwayasked the Under- Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what progress has been made in proposals for constitutional changes for Bechuanaland. Basutoland, and Swaziland.
§ Mr. AlportDiscussions on proposals for constitutional change in Basutoland are still in progress, and I cannot add to the reply which I gave on 4th December to the hon. Member for Huddersfield, West (Mr. Wade). As regards the Bechuanaland Protectorate, the comments and recommendations of the High Commissioner on the resolution of the Joint Advisory Council for the Bechuanaland Protectorate relating to legislative powers have now been received, and are being studied. I have nothing to add to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on 31st July regarding Swaziland.
