HC Deb 19 November 1942 vol 385 c550W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the demand from British, Colonial and other influential quarters for the adoption of a Colonial Charter amplifying and implementing the general principle of democratic freedom for all colonial peoples, His Majesty's Government is considering, or will now consider, making an early pronouncement to meet this demand?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

My Noble Friend has, at present, no statement to make on this matter.
