HC Deb 06 June 1967 vol 747 cc172-3W
80. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received from the Democratic Party of the Seychelles with regard to the future relationship of that Colony with the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Hart

The Seychelles Democratic Party have from time to time advocated "integration" with the United Kingdom. In replying to representations last September the then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies confirmed that it is the policy of H.M.G. that, in any decision which may be taken on the future relationship between the United Kingdom and Seychelles, the wishes of the colony will be taken fully into account.
