HC Deb 11 April 1951 vol 486 c79W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if any progress has been made towards implementing the Maude Report on local government in Barbadoes, thus bringing to an end the ancient relics of the vestry system, based on a very limited franchise.

Mr. J. Griffiths

A Bill incorporating such recommendations as have been accepted is now under consideration by the Executive Committee and is expected to be presented to the Legislature during the next few weeks.
