HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 c175W
102. Mr. Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proposals have been made for franchise and taxation reform in the Bahamas.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

None. But the Governor mentioned these matters in his address at the opening of the new Bahamas House of Assembly in July and in reply the House promised to give full consideration to these matters. They have now appointed Select Committees to inquire into ways and means of increasing revenue and to consider the General Assembly Elections Act of 1946. The Committees have not yet reported.
