HC Deb 31 July 1961 vol 645 c125W
111. Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what arrangements have been made for official consultations with Mr. Mennen Williams, President Kennedy's Secretary for African Affairs, in connection with his present visit to British Commonwealth territories in Africa.

Mr. Sandys

My hon. Friend, the Joint Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, who will be on a visit to the High Commission Territories when Mr. Williams visits them, hopes to have a discussion with him in Basutoland. I would add that Her Majesty's Government welcome Mr. Williams' visit to the High Commission Territories and the Acting High Commissioner will accord him every facility.

In the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, where Mr. Williams will be visiting all three Territories, the arrangements are being made by the Federal Government.
