§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will give the names of British journalists expelled from Uganda in 1966; what protest was made by Her Majesty's Government in these cases; and what effect this had.
§ Mr. BottomleyMr. Billy Chibber and Mr. E. A. Jones.
On my instructions our High Commissioner asked the Uganda authorities to state the reasons for these expulsions; to explain why they were carried out so hastily; and to say whether Mr. Chibber and Mr. Jones were given an opportunity to safeguard their property in Uganda. He was informed that reasons could not be given, but that their continued presence was not conducive to good order and stability.
