PARLIAMENTARY QUESTION

for ORAL answer on.. 24 March 1970

The draft reply should reach the Parliamentary Office through your Under-Secretary by

The Lord Beaumont of Whitley To ask Her Majesty's

Government whether they will recommend to

British Colonial Governments that they should appoint Ombudsmen.

No,

my Lord.

But of course any member of the

to petition the Governor, the Secretary of State and

Her Majesty The Queen about any grievances he may have.
