We have had preliminary discussions with the
Governments of St Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla and
St Lucia but there is no firm timetable for
independence. I chaired a Constitutional
Conference for Dominica in May. A wide-measure
of agreement was reached on an independence
Constitution. If as I hope the remaining
differences can be resolved, Parliament will be
invited to approve independence for Dominica
early in 1978.
