§ 24. Mr. Marquandasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet been asked to receive a delegation from the Legislature of British Honduras for the purpose of considering their plans for economic development.
§ Mr. ProfumoNo, Sir, but it has always been the intention that the visit of the delegation last year should be followed by further discussions with a delegation this year on financial and economic problems. No date has yet been fixed for these further talks, but it is expected that they will take place in the autumn.
§ Mr. MarquandHas the Under-Secretary of State any information to give to the House as to whether the present Administration in British Honduras is willing, and is preparing plans of this kind?
§ Mr. ProfumoYes, Sir I certainly think so.
