HC Deb 23 June 1969 vol 785 c186W
55. Mr. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will now make a statement on the constitutional future of the Seychelles.

Mr. Foley

A new constitution was introduced in Seychelles in November, 1967. We have received no precise proposals for changes, but we are aware that political leaders in Seychelles would like to discuss constitutional matters with us. My right hon. and noble Friend Lord Shepherd will visit Seychelles later this year, and that will afford a suitable opportunity for such discussions.
