§ Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the reasons of public security for the continued restriction of Mr. Clement C. Mtawali, former managing secretary of the Kilupula Rice Growers' Co-operative Union in Nyasaland; and when he expects to allow him to return to freedom.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodIt is necessary to ensure that on release a detainee can be absorbed into normal life in his home area without causing, or being the cause of, disturbances. Mr. Mtawali's restriction order is reviewed monthly and it was relaxed on 13th February to permit him complete freedom in the Karonga and Rumpi Districts without obligation to report his movements. The order will be further relaxed or revoked as soon as it is evident that his activities permit this to be done without risk to public order.
