Anguilla Proposal
CV.Z.P.A.-Burner—Copyright)
PORT OF SPAIN (Trinidad), May 7. The Anguillan leader, Mr Ronald Webster, said in the Port of Spain last night that the British Government had asked independent Commonwealth countries in the Caribbean to set up a commission to resolve the problem of his rebel island. Mr Webster, who had arrived on a two-day visit for talks with his legal adviser (Mr Karl Hudson Phillips) said that he would not comment on the British move because discussions were now at a delicate stage. A spokesman for the Trinidad and Tobago Government later confirmed Mr Webster’s statement and said that the British proposal was being studied by the Trinidad Cabinet.
Mr Webster also said that since the departure of the former British Commissioner to Anguilla (Mr Anthony Lee), satisfactory progress was being made in the island’s affairs.
