§ 30. Mr. Leachasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is prepared to recommend the grant of a new and enlarged constitution to the important colony of Trinidad and Tobago, in view of the new constitution granted to the lesser West Indian islands?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI have not received any serious demand for a revision of the existing constitution, and in the circumstances I am of the opinion that consideration of the matter would be premature.
§ Mr. LeachWould the right hon. Gentleman be prepared to give an undertaking that if the application is made he would regard it in a friendly fashion?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI would rather see what proposal is made and from whom it comes. I understand that the majority of the people in Trinidad are very well satisfied with their present Government.
