§ Mr. Skeffingtonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many branches of the Tanganyika African National Union were banned in 1956, 1957, and 1958; and to what extent, and for what reason, Tanganyika African National Union branches are banned in the Lake Province at the present time.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydOne branch was refused registration in 1956, four in 1957 and three in 1958; four branches were declared unlawful in 1957. All these restrictions have now been removed and no branches of the union are banned anywhere in the territory. Since October, 1958, 12 branches have been registered in the Lake Province. In these circum stances, the second part of the Question does not arise.
