Is my right hon. Friend satisfied that he has the consent and approval of the Crown Agents' principals to these proposals? Would he agree that nothing should be done that could impair the close confidence which the Crown Agents' principals of various Commonwealth countries have in the operation of the Crown Agents' themselves? Would he also accept that the Commonwealth countries are perfectly capable of deciding who should look after their own affairs?
