HC Deb 30 May 1952 vol 501 c197W
Dr. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that Councillor Mrs. J. Gannon, of British Guiana, who was prevented from landing in Trinidad by order of the Governor, was given a public reception by the Prime Minister of Barbados on her landing on that island; and if, in view of this difference of treatment of visitors to the British West Indies, he will convene a conference of Governors with a view to evolving a single policy.

Mr. Hopkinson

The admission of visitors to the various West Indian Colonies is a matter within the discretion of the individual Governments. It is also for them to determine how far they should consult between themselves, and my right hon. Friend sees no reason for convening a conference of Governors on the subject.
