HMG's general policy in accordance with our

obligations under the UN Charter is to develop, wherever

possible, Dependent Territories' constitutions by stages

towards self-government or independence. Where independ-

ence is a feasible option, we help and encourage those

Territories who so wish, whilst not urging such a status

on those whose peoples do not aspire to it.
