HC Deb 22 October 1941 vol 374 c1766
25. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Undersecretary of State for the Colonies whether he will give an assurance that point 3 in the Atlantic Declaration will be fully implemented respecting Native colonial peoples or whether, and in what respects, this is qualified by other references in that Declaration?

Mr. George Hall

I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement made on this matter by the Prime Minister on 9th September in this House, to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. Sorensen

May I take it that the hon. Gentleman agrees that references to our existing obligations will not prevent the application of progressive measures of self-government to Colonial peoples?

Mr. Hall

I can only agree with the statement as I read it.

45. Mr. Stokes

asked the Prime Minister the names of the financial advisers who accompanied him on his visit to meet the President of the United States of America in the Atlantic?

The Lord President of the Council (Sir John Anderson)

No financial advisers attended the Atlantic meeting on either side; no financial issues were discussed.
