The Constitutional Committee, referred to in the reply which my hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Eton and Slough (M. Brockway) on 20th November, 1958, has not yet reported. Last month, following disagreement between himself and the other elected Ministers, the Minister of Natural Resources, M. Beharry resigned from Executive Council. He and also M.
