HC Deb 01 May 1958 vol 587 cc57-8W
Mr. Page

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if, having regard to the fact that the Tanganyika African National Union, the largest political party in Tanganyika, is free to express its opposition to the Government's multi-racial policy, he will remove the handicap of Civil Service impartiality under which the Government of Tanganyika is placed and will at least permit provincial commissioners and district commissioners to advocate the Government's policy so that the Government's case does not go by default.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I am satisfied that the officers concerned have ample opportunity to publicise fully the Tanganyika Government's multi-racial policy, and that every practicable step is being taken to ensure that that policy is known and understood by all sections of the population.
