HC Deb 22 January 1959 vol 598 cc45-6W
71. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the people chiefly concerned with the new constitution of Malta are the inhabitants of the island; and, in view of the breakdown of negotiations with the representatives of the former Government of Malta, what steps he proposes to take to ascertain the wishes of the people of the island.

Mr. Amery

The answer to the first part of the Question is, Yes.

On the second part, I am sure that the Governor will take any opportunity that offers to ascertain the wishes of the Maltese people.
