HC Deb 01 December 1943 vol 395 cc344-5
31. Mr. Colegate

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any steps are being taken to form a British West Indies Customs Union?

Colonel Stanley

No, Sir. But I should be ready to consider the practicability of such a Union, if there was any general demand for it in these Colonies. So far as I am aware, there is no such demand at present.
