§ 74. Mr. Dribergasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the proposed transfer to private ownership of Government telecommunications in British Guiana.
Mr. Creech JonesI learn that expert advice is being obtained by the British Guiana Government on the question of the reconditioning and expansion of the Georgetown telephone system. No decision such as that suggested by my hon. Friend in his Question has been taken. No decision will be taken pending consideration of the whole matter by me.
