HC Deb 01 May 1958 vol 587 c52W
92. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that Mr. Abeid Aman Karume, General President of the Afro-Shirazi Party, has written to the British Resident in Zanzibar asking that the British Government and the Sultan's Government should officially declare that Zanzibar and Pemba are an African State; and what reply has been given.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As I indicated in my reply to the hon. Member for Wednesbury (Mr. Stonehouse) on 29th April, I am consulting the British Resident in this matter. I will write to the hon. Member when I have his reply.
