HC Deb 30 March 1950 vol 473 c86W
Mr. P. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what bodies are represented on the consultative committee which has been set up to represent to the British Council the views of Colonial students resident in the United Kingdom; what students' unions are not represented on the committee; and whether the members of the committee are elected or appointed, and by whom.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The following student bodies are represented on the British Council's Consultative Committee in London:

  • East African Students' Union.
  • Gold Coast Students' Union.
  • Hong Kong Students' Association.
  • Malay Society of Great Britain.
  • Malayan Students' Union.
  • Nigerian Students' Union.
  • Sierra Leone Study Group.
  • South Eastern and Central African Students' Union.
  • West African Students' Union.
  • West Indian Students' Union.

I am not aware that any Colonial student unions have been omitted. The members of the Committee have been appointed by their own organisations.
