HC Deb 27 June 1951 vol 489 cc143-4W
63. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will give an assurance that the Report on Closer Association of the Central African Territories will not be implemented without the agreement and co-operation of the African peoples of the territories.

Mr. Cook

My right hon. Friend made a full statement on the subject of the Report to the House on 13th June. Pending consideration and public discussion of the Report (including direct consultation with local opinion) my right hon. Friend would prefer not to add to that statement.
