HC Deb 02 July 1975 vol 894 c438W
Sir John Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, now the decision has been taken to leave Anguilla in the Associatel State of St. Christopher, Nevis and Anguilla, what measure of autonomy in domestic affairs is proposed for the island.

Mr. Rowlands

A new and separate constitution will give Anguillans, through their elected representatives, responsibility for managing the main aspects of their internal affairs—for example, education, health, tourism, works and communications, agriculture, fisheries. Her Majesty's Government will retain responsibility for internal security, the public service, finance, external affairs and defence.
