HC Deb 28 January 1960 vol 616 c56W
62. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of State for Commonwealth Relations in what way Her Majesty's Government propose to mark the constitutional changes in Basutoland.

Mr. R. Thompson

The first session of the Basutoland National Council will be inaugurated by the High Commissioner for Basutoland, Bechuanaland Protectorate and Swaziland, who will convey a message of good wishes from my noble Friend, as has been the practice on similar occasions in other Territories at a corresponding stage of constitutional development.
