§ 13. Viscount SANDONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will suggest to Colonies which are not able to send representatives to the coming Colonial Conference their deputing some ex-official, now resident in this country, to take part in the Conference on their behalf?
§ Mr. AMERYThe possibility of nominating ex-officials to represent Colonies and other Dependencies which would otherwise be unrepresented at the Colonial Office Conference in May has not been overlooked, but it was not considered desirable to adopt such a course. As my Noble Friend will have observed from the list of delegates recently published, almost all the more important Dependencies will be represented at the Conference.
