Constitutional Commission

HC Deb 23 January 1969 vol 776 c157W

53. Mr. Brooks

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will advise that the proposed Constitutional Commission should consider the future links between the United Kingdom and those small and remote dependencies whose population and resources are inadequate to permit independence.

Mr. Callaghan

The Commission's terms of reference will not extend beyond the British Isles.

Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a further statement on the proposed Constitutional Commission.

Mr. Callaghan

I hope to do so shortly.
