HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 cc186-7W
Mr. Braine

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what arrangements have been made for constitutional talks with the Government of British Honduras.

Mr. George Thomson

None. When proposals are put forward we shall of course be ready to consider them.

Mr. Braine

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs whether he will ensure that the opposition party in British Honduras will be represented at the proposed constitutional conference between Her Majesty's Government and the Government of British Honduras.

Mr. George Thomson

As is normal, both parties represented in the British Honduras Legislature would be invited to attend any constitutional conference that may be held.

Mr. Braine

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs whether he will ensure that the people of British Honduras will have the opportunity at a general election before independence of deciding on the recommendations made by the proposed constitutional conference.

Mr. George Thomson

The question of a general election would no doubt be a matter which would be discussed at any constitutional conference.
