HC Deb 24 October 1961 vol 646 c51W
73. Mr. Russell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the Commonwealth Finance Ministers' Conference at Accra in September; and if he will publish the communiqué issued at the end of the Conference as a White Paper, or in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

This was one of the regular meetings of the Commonwealth Economic Consultative Council but the first on African soil and I should like to express our gratitude to the Government of Ghana for giving us the opportunity to meet in Accra and for its very generous hospitality. I am arranging for a copy of the agreed communiqué, which is very full, to be circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
