HC Deb 11 November 1927 vol 210 c524W
Viscount SANDON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is proposed to postpone the holding of the next West Indian Conference; and, if so, what are the reasons for varying the unanimous decision of the last one which met in London?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

The first meeting of the West Indies Conference will be held in the winter of 1928–29, instead of that of 1927–28, because the majority of the Colonies concerned have expressed a preference for the former date.
