74. Mr. POINTERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Trinidad Legislative Council have refused to consider his suggestion that the qualification for councillors in the Port-of- Spain Municipality Ordinance was too high; and, if so, whether he proposes to assent to the Ordinance in its present form?
§ The SECRETARY OF STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Harcourt)I have no official information, but I understand that the Legislative Council of Trindad have declined to accept my suggestion. In these circumstances I regret that I do not at present feel able to pursue the matter further.
