HC Deb 20 October 1954 vol 531 c174W
85. Miss Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that a number of inaccurate statements were made in the White Paper, Command Paper No. 8980, entitled "British Guiana, Suspension of the Constitution"; and whether, therefore, he will issue a supplementary White Paper setting out corrections of all inaccuracies that have been brought to his notice.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

If the hon. Lady will let me have details of the alleged discrepancies she has in mind I shall be, glad to look into them.
