HC Deb 14 May 1959 vol 605 cc161-2W
44. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in view of the refusal to send a Parliamentary Commission to Nyasaland, what steps the Governments for which he is responsible are taking to provide machinery to equip Members with up-to-date information on the crisis.

Mr. J. Amery

The disturbances in Nyasaland and the events leading up to them are at present the subject of an inquiry by the Commission headed by Mr. Justice Devlin. It is of course my duty to provide Parliament with any information it requires about matters for which the Territorial Government is responsible. I am always ready to do my best to answer questions which hon. Members put to me.
