41. Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered the resolutions from the Seychelles Taxpayers' Association, a body representative of all classes in this colony excepting Government officials, requesting an amendment to the constitution whereby adequate popular representation of the inhabitants and a reduction in the excessive costs of the administration may be secured; and what action he proposes in the matter?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI have seen the resolutions to which the hon. Member refers and propose to discuss the various matters dealt with in the resolutions with the Governor, who is now home on leave.
Mr. AdamsCan the House be advised of the results of these discussions if I put another question down?
Mr. MacDonaldIf the hon. Member will put another question down, I will give him such information as I can from time to time, but I do not anticipate that I shall be able to give him any further information next week.
