HC Deb 01 May 1957 vol 569 c12W
17. Mr. W. T. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number and names of the Colonial Territories which have taken part in drafting a constitution for the Co-operative confederation to be set up by the Co-operative League of the United States of America in the Caribbean area.

Mr. Profumo:

I understand that meetings were held in Jamaica last year by the United States organisation referred to, at which a draft constitution for a Co-operative confederation in the Caribbean area was discussed. No colonial Government was officially represented but among those attending were delegates from Jamaica, Trinidad and Dominica. A delegate from British Guiana attended as an observer.
