HC Deb 27 June 1956 vol 555 cc43-4W
55. Miss Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the outcome of the discussions between the Governor of British Guiana and the political party leaders there in relation to his proposed constitution for a future election; and if Dr. Jagan was invited to take part in these discussions.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Governor has discussed the constitutional proposals individually with all party leaders who have asked to see him. He hopes that the outcome has been a clearer understanding of our endeavour, by means of these proposals, to make progress towards a return to democratic institutions, while preventing the growth of a Communist one-party system. Dr. Jagan has not yet asked to see the Governor.
