asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the unconditional release of the four detained trade unionists in Jamaica, he will now consider removing restrictions as to political activities which have been placed on certain other members of the People's National Party?

The Governor of Jamaica has reported that he revoked the restriction orders against these men on 22nd March.

Will the right hon. and gallant Gentleman give a hint in that direction that this interference with the legal political activities of these people should cease?

No, Sir, most certainly not. I said to the House that I thought the Governor's action was justified at the time. The circumstances have now changed, and rightly he has decided to take off these restrictions.
