HC Deb 23 June 1959 vol 607 c116W
58. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the total number of detainees in Nyasaland, and the number of these detained in Southern Rhodesia; and when he expects them to be released.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

There are at present 556 Africans in detention, of whom 134 are held in Southern Rhodesia. Detainees will be released when the Governor is satisfied that it is no longer necessary to exercise control over them for the purpose of maintaining public order.
