§ 7. Mr. Reevesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if Her Majesty's Government have yet approached the Government of the United States of America with the request of the Standing Federation Committee of Trinidad that their base should be surrendered to them, in terms to be arranged, for the site of the new federal capital.
§ Mr. ProfumoYes. As a result of the approach, discussions between representatives of Her Majesty's Government and the Government of the United States of America have opened today. Delegates from the Standing Federation Committee are taking part.
§ Mr. ReevesWill the Minister press the American Government in order that they may see the great advantages of an airfield near Port of Spain, since other 921 airports have nowhere near the same advantages?
§ Mr. ProfumoThat is one of the matters which will certainly be very much in mind.
