HC Deb 06 April 1970 vol 799 cc27-8
29. Sir E. Errington

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will publish a White Paper on the Seychelles Conference which has been held in London.

Mr. Luard

Yes, Sir. The Conference report is being printed as a White Paper in the Command series. In the meantime, as stated in my reply of 16th March to the hon. Member for Swansea, West (Mr. Alan Williams) copies of the report are available in the Library of the House.—[Vol. 798, c. 13–14.]

Sir E. Errington

Is there no possibility that facts that are of great importance to this small island in the Indian Ocean can be quickly communicated to it?

Mr. Luard

The hon. Gentleman will know that the conference took place less than one month ago. A White Paper is at present being prepared. A Written Answer was given in the House of Commons on 16th March—two or three days after the conference ended.
