§ 27. Mr. McSHANE (for Dr. MORGAN)asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether in view of the decision of the legislative council of British Honduras not to extend the franchise to women, as urged by the Secretary of State for the Colonies in an official des patch, it is the intention of the Secretary of State to take any action to bring the constitution of the Colony into line with his recommendations?
§ Mr. LUNNI have been asked to take this question. I think that my hon. Friend must have intended to refer to Bermuda since the question of granting the franchise to women has not arisen in British Honduras. As regards Bermuda, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply of the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies to the hon. Member for the English Universities (Miss Rathbone) on the 2nd June.
