Submits despatch from the Admini- strator of St. Lucia reporting that there are no laws in force in the Colony relative to the matters re- ferred to in the Convention, and that the trade in opiam and its com- pounds is insignificant.
Reports that no opium has been im- ported into Grenada during the last five years for trade purposes, and that the other drugs mentioned are only imported for medicinal purposes.
States that the Governments of Malta, Gibraltar, Cyprus, and the Seychelles have now agreed to the Convention being signed on their behalf.
Refers to Nos. 34 and 52, and considers that in due course an Order in Coun- cil should be issued prohibiting altogether the importation of raw aud prepared opium, and forbidding the importation of the drugs named ex- cept for medicinal purposes.
