§ 136. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will take steps to invite the independent realms in the Commonwealth to a conference to consider its present and future constitutional development, with special regard to possible new entrants and to territories like Guinea, in view of its recent agreement with Ghana.
§ Mr. ProfumoI have been asked to reply.
No. This would not be in accordance with long-established practice. The constitutional development of the Commonwealth is a continuing process which is kept under constant review through the existing channels of consultation between the member countries.
