§ Mr. David Adamsasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that at the recent Caribbean Conference, held in Jamaica, to discuss questions of the supply of essential foodstuffs and other commodities to the British West Indies and other territories in the Caribbean usually imported from abroad, together with problems of shipping, the Government omitted to appoint a single native agriculturist, business man or professional man; and whether he will remedy similar discriminations in future?
Mr. Harold MacmillianThe Conference to which my hon. Friend refers was a conference of Government supply officers representing the various Colonies concerned. No question of discrimination on the lines which my hon. Friend suggests therefore arises.
