§ 32. Miss Joan Lestorasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what size of House of Representatives he intends to propose to representatives of the Gilbert Islands during the forthcoming talks on internal self-government.
§ Mr. RowlandsThe proposals of the Government of the Gilberts, from which I do not dissent, involve no changes in the composition of the House of Assembly on internal self-government, except for the disappearance of the Deputy Governor and the Financial Secretary. The House would then comprise 21 elected members and the Attorney-General.
