HC Deb 13 May 1941 vol 371 c1090W
Mr. Gallacher

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the fact that a joint copra board has been established at Sydney, at which Australia, New Zealand and the Western Pacific High Commission are to be represented, means that Australian control is to be extended over the economic life of Fiji and other Pacific islands; and what are to be the safeguards for the native population?

Mr. Shakespeare

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. The second part therefore does not arise.
