HC Deb 13 June 1956 vol 554 c27W
54. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what further developments have taken place in respect of constitutional reforms in Sarawak; and what consultations have been, or will be, held with representative persons and bodies in Sarawak itself.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Proposals for the revision of the constitution have been fully discussed and generally accepted by representative bodies and individuals throughout Sarawak. They were incorporated in a resolution passed unanimously by the Council Negri last September. The drafting of the Constitutional Instruments to give effect to these proposals is now well advanced.
