§ Mr. PrenticeNo request for further technical assistance for the Banabans has been received by my Ministry since two advisers who were sent to advise on the future development of Rambi Island reported in December, 1967, and no such assistance is therefore currently being given. I am willing to consider the provision of further technical assistance if this proves necessary.
