§ 13. Brigadier-General NATIONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether reports received from the Colony of British Guiana indicate that the Constitution which has been in force there for the last four years has been worked without difficulty or whether any representations have been made to him for the amendment of the Constitution?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI am not aware that any difficulty has been experienced in working the existing Consti- 1114 tution of British Guiana. The elected members of the Legislative Council recently expressed the opinion that the Constitution ought to be amended. I should add that I concur in the decision of my predecessor that so long as the Colony is in receipt of a grant from the Imperial Exchequer, His Majesty's Government must continue to exercise effectual financial control.
