HC Deb 01 April 1965 vol 709 cc1839-40
22. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what basis of representation he proposes for the Fiji Constitutional Conference due to be held on 26th July, 1965.

Mrs. White

My right hon. Friend has invited the 18 unofficial members of the Legislative Council to come to London for the conference.

Mr. Irvine

As the hon. Lady is to visit Fiji some time in the next few weeks, I understand, can she give any indication as to whether that visit is in any way connected with the proposed conference?

Mrs. White

One of the objects of the visit is to give opportunities for those who will not be directly represented at the conference to make their views known to a Minister prior to the conference.
