HC Deb 05 February 1934 vol 285 cc798-9
50. Captain CUNNINGHAM-REID

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has now received from the Governors of the Leeward and Windward Islands the information he asked for regarding the implications of the recommendations of the West Indies Closer Union Commission; and, if so, whether he has reached a decision upon the subject of this report?

Mr. M. MacDONALD

Though the information received is not yet complete in every respect, it will be sufficient to enable the matter to be discussed at early meetings of the Legislatures in the Leeward and Windward Islands, for which arrangements are being made. Until local opinion has thus been ascertained no final decision in the matter will be taken.
