HC Deb 29 July 1958 vol 592 c1135
25. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what conclusions were reached in his official discussions with the Governor of Trinidad regarding constitutional changes for that territory.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Alan Lennox-Boyd)

Discussions have not yet taken place.

Mr. Brockway

Does the right hon. Gentleman appreciate that this is the last week before the Recess? As these discussions are contemplated, in view of the able administration of the islands by Dr. Eric Williams and the fact that Trinidad is to be the site of the Federal capital, will he do his utmost to enable full self-government in Trinidad to be realised?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Work at the Colonial Office does not stop merely because the House of Commons rises.
