HC Deb 08 July 1953 vol 517 cc1229-30
30. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what consideration has been given to the future constitutional relationship of Togoland to the Gold Coast; and whether it is intended to implement the recommendation of the United Nations Assembly contained in a resolution passed on 21st December, 1952.

Mr. Lyttelton

Constitutional changes in the Gold Coast might require reconsideration of its relationship with Togo-land under United Kingdom Trusteeship, but that stage has not yet been reached. Any modification of the Trusteeship Agreement would require the consent of the United Nations. On the assumption that the reference in the second part of the Question is to the Togoland resolution of 20th December last, the answer is "Yes, Sir."
