§ Mr. E. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action he proposes to take with a view to giving effect to the pledges of the Government of Fiji on the subject of a common electoral roll, and to securing the application to Fiji of the resolution of the Imperial Conference of 1921 as to the rights of Indians to citizenship in British Colonies?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI am not aware that any pledge has been given by the Fiji Government in regard to a common electoral roll; or that there has been any failure to give effect to the resolution of the Imperial Conference of 1921. As regards the question of the common roll, the Acting-Governor is to make a statement on the subject when the Legislative Council reassembles on 21st February.
