§ 33. Mr. Rileyasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any information regarding the cooperation of British and United States authorities in the economic development of territories in the Caribbean Sea; and whether such economic development will have the benefit of the provisions of the lease-lend enactment?
§ Mr. Harold MacmillanI hope that it will be possible to make a statement about this matter shortly.
§ Mr. RileyIs not it the fact that in Washington the American Committee has already been set up and is waiting, so we understand, some indication from the British Government as to their co-operation with that Committee?
§ Mr. MacmillanThis is a joint matter by arrangement between the two Governments, and my hon. Friend will readily understand that any statement must be made jointly.
