§ 35. Mr. Callaghanasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the progress of the con stitutional talks in the Gambia.
§ Mr. H. FraserI have nothing at present to add to my right hon. Friend's reply to the hon. Member for Eton and Slough (Mr. Brockway) of yesterday.
§ Mr. CallaghanHas a formal request yet been made for the transfer of the talks to London on the ground that they are not proceeding satisfactorily? If so, what reply has been given?
§ Mr. FraserNo, Sir. As explained yesterday to the hon. Member, these are purely talks of officials in the Gambia and we hope later to have talks at a political level.
