I have to inform the House that I have received from Sir Harold Austin, Speaker of the House of Assembly of Barbados, a copy of the following Resolutions agreed to by that House:

Resolved, nemine contradicente, That Mr. Speaker be requested to inform the Speaker of the House of Commons of the passing of their Resolution of Greetings, and to ask him to communicate it to the Members of the House of Commons

Resolved, nemine contradicente, That on this day set apart to commemorate the Ter-centenary of the House of Assembly of Barbados, the Speaker and Members with all due respect send their hearty greetings to the Speaker and Members of the House of Commons.

The House of Assembly of Barbados is the third oldest Elective Chamber in the British Empire, and in procedure, parliamentary privilege, and the maintenance of popular liberty the House of Commons has always been their model.
