Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to place in the Library the names and details of each member of the local legislatures for each colony and dependent territory.

Mr. Baldry

I will place such lists in the Library.

Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs by which method it is possible for(a) the chief minister and (b) individual member of colony and dependent territory legislatures to bring to the attention of Her Majesty's Government or hon. Members of the House any grievance they have about the stewardship or conduct of governors or official members of the local government and legislature in respect of those matters for which the governors or official members are directly responsible.

Mr. Baldry

All British dependent territories citizens have the right to approach us or Members of the House on any matter they wish to raise.

Chief Ministers and members of the legislature in the dependent territories can and frequently do raise issues in connection with the Governors' reserve powers with us and hon. Members.
