§ 65. Mr. N. Macphersonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements are being made to ensure a continuance of the British service to the Falkland Islands while the s.s. "Fitzroy" is withdrawn for survey and refit; and how long it is anticipated that the alternative arrangements will be needed.
