HC Deb 12 July 1960 vol 626 cc96-7W
81. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on measures being taken by the Government of Northern Rhodesia to limit colour discrimination.

Mr. Iain Macleod

There will also be a debate shortly on the report of the Working Party set up to examine discriminatory practices in other fields, in the light of which the Government will consider what further action may be practicable and desirable.
