§ 84. Mr. Goodhewasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will institute an inquiry into the leak of information about the new constitutional proposals for Northern Rhodesia, upon the eve of the departure of the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations on his recent visit to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
§ Mr. MaudlingThere has been a great deal of Press speculation, but I have not seen any report so detailed and accurate as to provide evidence of a leak.
§ 85. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for Colonies if he will now make a statement on the constitutional changes he proposes for Northern Rhodesia in view of the necessity to dispel the doubt and uncertainty in the Protectorate.
§ Mr. MaudlingAs I informed the House last week, I hope to make a statement very shortly.
