HC Deb 31 July 1974 vol 878 cc207-8W
Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps are being taken to ensure fairness in the operation of the electoral system in British Honduras during the coming General Election there.

Mr. Ennals

The forthcoming General Election in Belize—formerly British Honduras—will be conducted in accordance with the Representation of the People Ordinance (Chapter 4 of the Laws of Belize). The schedule to this ordinance sets out the regulations providing for the registration of voters and the conduct of elections of elected Members of the Legislative Assembly of Belize, thereby ensuring fairness in the operation of the electoral system in Belize.
