HC Deb 15 December 1942 vol 385 c1800W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in any consideration of political development in the West African colonies, attention will be given to the need for including elected members in the executive councils and for the extension of the electoral principle to Gambia?

Colonel Stanley

The electoral principle is more appropriate to legislative than to executive councils, but my hon. Friend's suggestion will be borne in mind.
