HC Deb 29 April 1953 vol 514 c2131
26. Mr. R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet decided to publish the reports submitted to him by the trade mission and the timber mission both of which recently visited the West Indies.

Mr. Lyttelton

I am still awaiting replies from some of the West Indian Governments which were consulted about publication.

Mr. Robinson

In view of the fact that these trade missions returned to this country last year will my right hon. Friend do all he can to expedite publication of their reports?

Mr. Lyttelton

Yes, Sir, but I must not publish them until I have the concurrence of all the Governments concerned.
