§ Mr. HURDasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received the proposals of the Associated West Indian Chambers of Commerce which recently met at Trinidad for the formation of a standing conference of legislative representatives of each of the West Indian Colonies, British Guiana, and British Honduras to meet periodically and advise the Secretary of State on matters of common West Indian interest; and what reply he is making to these representations?
Mr. WOODThese proposals were handed to me at Trinidad. The question is discussed in my report, which will be laid upon the Table of the House as soon as practicable, and I would ask my hon. Friend to refer to the views which I there express.
