HC Deb 05 May 1969 vol 783 c4W
49. Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government will discuss with Anguillan representatives proposals for associated status with the United Kingdom.

Mr. Whitlock

I am aware that this suggestion is favoured by a number of Anguillans. It would not, however, be possible unless Anguilla were separated from the Associated State of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla, and the constitutional position is that this requires the request and consent of the State.
