HC Deb 20 June 1961 vol 642 c120W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies where and when it is proposed to resume the adjourned constitutional conference on Gambia.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I propose to hold constitutional talks in London in the week beginning 24th July.

Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the adjourned constitutional conference on Gambia will consider projects for economic development in addition to strengthening the groundnuts industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Iain Macleod

While the purpose of the conference will be to discuss constitutional matters, I have no doubt that it will bear in mind the economic and financial background.
