Dr. MORGANasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether a decision and a settled policy has now been arrived at with reference to the external steamship communications of Tobago, British West Indies; whether the recommendations of the Sea Communications Committee have now been accepted; and whether an assured service will be available for this island in the future?
§ Dr. SHIELSI am not yet in a position to add anything to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend's question on 11th December last, beyond the fact that the Crown Agents are in communication with the Government of Trinidad in regard to the specifications of vessels of which they have furnished estimates for the Government's consideration.
