HC Deb 10 December 1963 vol 686 c48W
Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the present Prime Minister of Malta represents only 42 per cent. of the electorate; and if he will therefore confer with the leaders of the opposition parties in Malta before the plans for independence of the island are made final.

Mr. Fisher

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave earlier today to the hon. Members for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes), Wednesbury (Mr. Stonehouse), and Leyton (Mr. Sorensen) and to my hon. Friend the Member for Haltemprice (Mr. Wall).
