HC Deb 05 July 1956 vol 555 c1545
Mr. Bevan

(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now in a position to state the personnel and terms of reference of the Economic Commission to Malta.

The Minister of State for Colonial Affairs (Mr. John Hare)

No, Sir. The Maltese Government have raised certain points about the membership and terms of reference of the Commission which my right hon. Friend is now considering.

Mr. Bevan

Can the Minister tell us when he is likely to be able to let us have this information?

Mr. Hare

There is certainly no desire on the part of either my right hon. Friend or the Maltese Government for there to be any delay in this matter. We are discussing certain details and will make the announcement as soon as possible.
