HC Deb 13 May 1958 vol 588 c12W
37. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements are being made for the election of municipal councillors in Uganda, in view of the fact that the present system of appointment by the Governor prevents the normal relationships being achieved between ratepayers and councillors.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Provision for the election of municipal councillors is made in the Urban Authorities Bill published in Uganda on 30th January, but detailed arrangements will be prescribed in rules to be made by the Minister of Local Government after the Bill becomes law and after consultation with all concerned.
