28. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, with a view to re-establishing peace and contentment in Trinidad, he will arrange for the troops recently sent to that island to be withdrawn?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

In view of the Acting Governor's report that the situation in Trinidad remains quiet, I am now in communication with him and with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War with a view to fixing the date for the return of the troops to Bermuda. I hope to make a further announcement on the subject shortly.

32. Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether, in view of the position shown in the report of the Commission to Trinidad, he will recommend the immediate appointment of full-time health officers?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Shipley (Mr. Creech Jones) given on 3rd February.
