Mr. Fisherasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Government are satisfied that the Caribbean 157W Commission has been of value to the regional development of the area and of the West Indies in particular; and what financial contribution the Government will make to the Commission in future, in order to ensure its continued existence.
§ Mr. J. AmeryYes, and as my right hon. Friend explained to the hon. Member for The Hartlepools (Mr. D. Jones) on 29th January, consideration is being given to the setting up of a successor organisation which will be run by the territories themselves.
