§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in view of the doubts concerning the scope of the terms of reference of the Blood Constitutional Commission now in Malta, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. and learned Member for Aberdeen, North, if he will take steps to clarify the terms of reference; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. H. FraserThe terms of reference of the Malta Constitutional Commission did not restrict the Commission's freedom to hear and report any evidence which might have a bearing on Malta's future.

Members for Eton and Slough (Mr. Brockway) and Bristol, Central (Mr. Awbery).
