§ 68. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what measures he will now propose to secure internal self-government for Fiji.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodIn my reply to the hon. Member for Abertillery (The Rev. Ll. Williams) on 10th March I stated that I had no further plans for constitutional reform in Fiji but that I knew the Governor had the matter continuously under review. Proposals for the election of Fijian representatives were made by the Commission of Enquiry into the Natural Resources and Population Trends of the Colony of Fiji, 1959, in paragraph 163 of their Report (a copy of which is available in the Library of the House). These proposals are at present under consideration by the Governor and will be debated in the Legislature in September or October next.
