§ 37. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what further steps have been taken to hold either a general election or a referendum in Malta; what are the terms to be submitted in the referendum; and what steps are being taken to speed up the introduction of independence.
§ Mr. SandysI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. and learned Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes) on 10th December. I expect to hear very shortly from the Prime Minister of Malta the outcome of his proposal for a referendum, which he made to the leaders of the other political parties in Malta.
