Did you mean sir Lanka?
Mrs Judith Hart: ...the position of the Commonwealth countries in Africa and the Caribbean. As for countries which are not offered association in respect of primary products, the outstanding ones are India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. I believe it to be true—perhaps the Minister will confirm this—that in the first six months of the Community generalised preference scheme, India used up her quotas,...

SRI LANKA REPUBLIC BILL [Lords]
Mr Anthony Kershaw: ...sight it may, therefore, be thought that the last part of Clause 1(2) means that the United Kingdom Parliament is legislating for independent countries so as to effect the operation in relation to Sri Lanka of such Acts that are still part of their law. But that is not, in fact, the effect of Clause 1(2). This is because the grant of independence either had the effect of terminating...

Mr Geoffrey Rippon: ...and by my hon. Friend the Member for Walthamstow, West. I have just returned from a tour of Commonwealth countries in Asia and the Indian Ocean—Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, the Seychelles and Mauritius. They all have varying trading patterns which we are now able to discuss in detail with them in the context of enlargement. I found ready acceptance in...
Mr Enoch Powell: ...to be passed and that, if that Bill had not been passed at the time, its citizens would have ceased to be British subjects. As recently as July of last year on the occasion of the passing of the Sri Lanka Republic Bill, the spokesman for the Foreign Office confirmed that the Bill was necessary not merely because of the change of name of Ceylon into Sri Lanka but also because of the change...
Mr Frederic Bennett: ...to have political detainees in order to prevent subversion. We should remember that before we lecture other countries. We must remember, too, that there are two other Commonwealth countries, Sri Lanka and Singapore, which are never criticised although they have political detainees whom they believe to be guilty of trying to bring down the State by force. If we are to start criticising...

Sri Lanka (British Firms)
Mr Geoffrey De Freitas: Does the right hon. Gentleman remember that three weeks ago he told my hon. Friend the Member for Salford, East (Mr. Frank Allaun) that no advice had been given to British firms in Sri Lanka about wages. Surely the right hon. Gentleman recognises that one of the reasons for having high commissioners in developing countries is expressly to advise British firms in those countries on conditions...
Mr Tam Dalyell: ...Mrs. Indira Ghandi and the Government of India; against the public wishes of President Bhutto and the Government of Pakistan; against the public wishes of Mrs. Bandaranaike and the Government of Sri Lanka; against the public wishes of President Suharto and the Government of Indonesia; to say nothing of the caustic comment of Mr. Chou-en-Lai? As a Member deeply interested in Britain's...
Mr Edward Bishop: .... But the conference will in addition deal with security of world food supplies and with problems of supplies of inputs, particularly fertilisers. My hon. Friends will recall the resolution from Sri Lanka and New Zealand in this connection. The conference will also give some consideration to trade. In considering my right hon. Friend's attitude, we should briefly examine the agenda to...
Mrs Judith Hart: ...I think it will be done in September. Secondly, it is true that we have a tremendous bilateral responsibility. Indeed, among the countries which are suffering more severely, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are traditionally those with a close association with us—we have already done a certain amount to help them bilaterally—but I emphasise that apart from the pro- and anti-Common...
Mr Michael Marshall: ...of trade? Many of us feel that the "trade not aid" approach is one which we should usefully follow now, particularly for those countries most affected by the oil crisis; namely, India. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
