THE DOMINICA BILL
SECOND READING IN LORDS I British Official Wuclesei RUGBY, 18th November. In the House of Lords the Parliamentary Secretary for Colonies, Mr W. Ormsby-Gore, moved the second reading of the Dominica Bill, which seeks to separate Dominica from the colony of the Leeward Islands and make it a separate colony. If the Bill became law, he said, it was intended that Dominica should be governed in the future as part of the Windward Islands. Lord Elibank, supporting the Bill, said that it was the culmination of a very difficult controversy which had been going on for many years. There was no one in Dominica who would not welcome the Bill. The Bill was read a second time.
