§ 15. Mr. Peter Smithersasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements have been made for the exchange of scientific data between the 941 Government of British Guiana on the one hand, and the neighbouring Latin American Republics and French and Dutch territories on the other.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsFollowing a visit to British Guiana by the Governor of Surinam and the Prefect of French Guiana in February, 1949, there have been useful exchanges of visits and scientific information between technical officers of the three Governments. Similar visits have been exchanged with Brazil and Venezuela. Opportunities for the exchange of scientific data are also provided by the Caribbean Commission, and through international technical conferences in Central and South America.
§ Mr. SmithersDoes the right hon. Gentleman think that it would be useful to extend the activities of the Caribbean Commission to include some neighbouring Latin-American republics?
§ Mr. GriffithsI will consider that.
