§ 71. Mr. Peter Smithersasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now prepared to publish a White Paper upon the recent disorders in Grenada.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsAs the hon. Member was informed on 25th April, it is not my intention to publish a report on recent events in Grenada. The House has been kept fully informed of developments in 117W the Colony, and there would be no advantage in publishing a comprehensive report at this stage. The position would, of course, have been different if it had been decided to set up a commission of inquiry into the disturbances, but I am satisfied that no useful purpose would have been served by such an inquiry. I propose, however, to place in the Library copies of the agreements recently negotiated between the Grenada Agricultural Employers' Society and the Grenada Mental and Manual Workers' Union and the Grenada Trades Union Council.
§ 72. Mr. Braineasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will publish the communications concerning the recent disturbances in Grenada which have passed between his Department and the Government of that Colony.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsNo.
