HC Deb 07 June 1956 vol 553 c74W
61. Mr. Awbery

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he is aware that the failure of the Singapore Constitutional Conference will have repercussions within the Commonwealth, and especially in India; and if he will place the subject on the agenda of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference to be held in London shortly.

Commander Noble

The discussions about Singapore have certainly been a matter of interest to a number of Commonwealth countries. There have been no representations to suggest that the breakdown of the talks caused special concern in India. It is not the practice to disclose in advance what matters are to be discussed at meetings of Commonwealth Prime Ministers.
