3. Other participants (8):

proposed. Dr Lyon has strongly recommended Dr Grant, the

Guyana High Commissioner in London, whose academic background

he considers most suitable; he also recommends someone from

the Commonwealth Secretariat, who has been working on the

recent paper on the problems of small states. It may also be

considered whether we should include a representative of

industry or someone with experience of administering French,

Dutch or US dependencies. I recommend that this group should

comprise:-

2 Parliamentarians (1 Labour, 1 Conservative)

2 ex-Governors

1 Bank of England

1 Commonwealth Secretariat

2 Remainder
