HC Deb 10 November 1927 vol 210 c370
82. Mr. AMMON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the criticism by the financial representative of the Combined Court, British Guiana, of the Report of the Parliamentary Commissioner who visited British Guiana last winter; whether he is aware that such criticism alleges misstatements of facts in the Report which have given rise to false deduction; and what action it is proposed to take in the light of such criticism?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

I have read the document to which the hon. Member refers, but I am fully satisfied of the accuracy of the important statements of fact in the Report of the British Guiana Commission which it purports to refute, and I see no reason to take any action in the matter. May I add that there is no such person as "the financial representative of the Combined Court," though there are six elected members of the Combined Court who are known as financial representatives.
