HC Deb 15 July 1965 vol 716 c91W
24. Mr. Rowland

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the constitutional future of the British Virgin Islands.

Mr. Greenwood

I recently appointed Mrs. Mary Proudfoot, Fellow of Somerville, College, Oxford, to examine the present constitution and make recommendations. Mrs. Proudfoot has submitted her report which will shortly be published; but it will be necessary to study her recommendations and to consult with the Administrator and local opinion before I can make a statement.
