HC Deb 07 June 1939 vol 348 cc410-1
37. Mr. Jagger

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered a memorandum from the Trinidad Workers United Front Committee embodying proposals for a reform of the island's constitution; and what action he has taken, or proposes to take, with regard to the matter?

The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Malcolm MacDonald)

I have recently received a memorandum from the Trinidad Workers United Front Committee, but I have not yet been able to consider it in detail. In any case I should wish to await the Report of the West India Royal Commission before envisaging any revision of the constitution of Trinidad.

38. Mr. Jagger

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered a resolution from the workers of Trinidad asking for the removal from office of the Attorney-General; whether he has made inquiries as to the justification for this request; and what decision he has reached on the matter?

Mr. MacDonald

I have not received any such resolution.
