Abstract:
The Prime Minister : Mr. Speaker, I am authorized by the Cabinet to make the following statement : I wish to draw the attention of this hon. House to the gross discourtesy paid to the Head of State of Trinidad and Tobago by the boycott last night of a reception by His Excellency the Governor-General at the Governor-General’s House for the delegates to the Caribbean Ecumenical Consultation for Development.
The conference was opened by His Excellency the Governor-General. The reception was arranged by His Excellency at the invitation of the planners of the Conference. His Excellency learned of the boycott of the reception from · radio reports long before he received the written notice to which he was entitled, at least out of elementary courtesy.
