§ 44. Sir R. Robinsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the Guatemalan Consulate in Belize has recently offered twenty-five scholarships at various educational institutions in Guatemala to candidates in British Honduras; whether the Government of British Honduras were consulted by the Government of Guatemala on this subject; and what steps he is taking to see that adequate educational facilities within the British Commonwealth are available to students from British Honduras.
§ Mr. ProfumoYes. The Government of British Honduras were not formally consulted. I am indeed fully aware of the desirability of providing educational facilities within the British Commonwealth for students from British Honduras, and during the last three years a total of sixty scholarships have been made available from colonial development and welfare and other sources at institutions within the Commonwealth.
