HC Deb 02 August 1939 vol 350 cc2401-2W
Mr. Jagger

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet received from the Governor of Trinidad a copy of the memorial from the Workers' United Front Committee calling for the removal of the Attorney-General; whether he has inquired into the complaints; and what decision he has reached on the matter?

Mr. M. MacDonald

Yes, Sir. The only ground of complaint against the Attorney-General of Trinidad was that, in the course of his official duties as a servant of the Trinidad Government, he had introduced into Council certain Bills to which the Workers' United Front Committee objected. In the circumstances there was no question of my taking action on the request for his removal from office.
