HC Deb 11 December 1958 vol 597 c101W
63. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will state his plans to facilitate the expansion of the British Commonwealth of Nations by encouraging new nations to come into association with it on the lines recently indicated by the Government of Ghana in relation to Guinea.

Mr. Alport

I would refer the hon. and learned Member to my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister's answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Blackpool, South (Sir R. Robinson) on 27th November. Any proposal involving the admission of a new member of the Commonwealth would be a matter for all Commonwealth Governments and not only for Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom.
