HC Deb 30 June 1959 vol 608 cc27-8W
54. M. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will arrange for the detention camps in Nyasaland to be inspected.

M. Lennox-Boyd

The Governor of Nyasaland informs me that he has already arranged for officially recognised visitors to visit the camps in addition to visiting justices who have already visited them. This arrangement has been made with the Federal Government since camps are administered in accordance with Federal prisons legislation. A representative of the International Red Cross has also recently visited Kanjedza Camp for three days during which he carried out a thorough investigation. I understand his findings are likely to be made public in due course by the International Red Cross authorities at Geneva.
