HC Deb 14 February 1963 vol 671 c230W
Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what deductions have been agreed with the Government of Trinidad from the sum of £600,000, for houses formerly used by Federal officials, in respect of the counterclaim for Trinidad advances to the Federal Government, rents and maintenance outstanding on property and other such matters set out in the 1963 Trinidad White Paper on this matter.

Mr. Sandys

None. It is a matter for negotiation between the Government of Trinidad and Tobago and the Interim Commissioner—though I may add that I understand that some of the counterclaims mentioned in the second Trinidad White Paper had not previously been notified to the Interim Commissioner.
