MR. SUMMERBELL (Sunderland)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is yet in a position to give the names of the Commission appointed by the Trinidad Government to revise the local customs tariff; whether a representative of the working class has been appointed a member of the Commission; and whether the proceedings of the Commission will be made public.

THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. Churchill,) Manchester, N.W.

I am not as yet in a position to give the hon. Member any further information on this subject.

MR. SUMMERBELL

When may the information be expected?

MR. CHURCHILL

I will make further inquiries and inform the hon. Member.

MR. SUMMERBELL

Will the hon. Gentleman do so by telegraph?

MR. CHURCHILL

Yes, if it is necessary to do so.
