HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 cc2-3W
38. Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to what extent his conversations with the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago have dealt with the possibility of Trinidad and Tobago forming a wider community which would include some of the Associated States and if he will report on the progress made so far.

Mr. M. Stewart

The conversations with Dr. Eric Williams were confidential but the question of possible wider groupings of Commonwealth Caribbean countries was among those discussed. Progress will depend on the outcome of continuing discussions between the Governments of the countries concerned.
