HC Deb 17 December 1968 vol 775 cc351-2W
83. Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will propose that Anguilla should have special membership of the Commonwealth; if he will visit the island; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitlock

Anguilla is an integral part of the unitary Associated State of St. Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla. The question of separate membership of the Commonwealth in any form for Anguilla does not therefore arise. My right hon. Friend has no present plans to visit the State.
