HC Deb 07 March 1956 vol 549 c200W
68. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when it is now intended to hold a general election in Trinidad; and why the further delay is taking place.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The position regarding a general election remains as set out in my reply to the hon. Member of 14th December, namely that it must be held within four months of the dissolution of the present Legislative Council. This must be dissolved on or before 26th May of this year. There has been no further delay.
