Mr. Chapman
asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a further statement about the rebellion on Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides.

Mr. Blaker
There is little I can usefully add to my statement to the House on 16 June.—[Vol. 986, c. 1147.] We are committed to preserving the territorial integrity of the New Hebrides. While it is too soon to predict a result. I am encouraged that talks are to take place tomorrow between representatives of the New Hebrides Government and of Mr. Stephens.
