HC Deb 06 March 1922 vol 151 c862
107. Sir JOSEPH HOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonics whether he is now in a position to make a statement with regard to the petition from the inhabitants of St. Lucia praying for the creation of elected representatives to the local legislature?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I shall await the report of my hon. Friend on his recent visit to the island before coming to any decision, and I am therefore not in a position to make any statement at present.

Mr. KILEY

In view of the great interest in these matters in the West Indian Islands, will the right hon. Gentleman see that there is no undue delay in issuing the report?
