HC Deb 09 April 1981 vol 2 c341W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will seek a Commonwealth initiative to consider the current situation in Grenada; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ridley

No. The Commonwealth is an association of independent sovereign States. In view of this, it is not normal practice for the Commonwealth to concern itself with the internal affairs of individual member countries, unless invited to do so.
