HC Deb 17 December 1959 vol 615 c1622
6. Mr. J. Howard

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he expects to receive the Report of the Burns Commission on the Fiji Islands.

Mr. J. Amery

The Burns Commission will submit its report to the Governor of Fiji, by whom it was appointed. The report is expected to be in the hands of the Governor early next year.

Mr. Howard

Are the matters which gave rise to the recent disturbance in Suva likely to be covered by the Report?

Mr. Amery

I had better await the Report before attempting to answer that Question.
