To Visit UK
Two members of the BSIP Legislative Council left Honiara by air in late September for a visit to Britain as guests of the British Government. They are Mr. Eric Lawson, member for Honiara, and Mr. David Kausimae, member for South Malaita.
During their stay in the UK, which will end in London about October 17, they will be shown a cross section of British life.
Neither has been to the UK previously.
A BSIP Government an nouncement says that the object of such visits is to create further opportunities for strengthening the bonds of friendship between Great Britain and territories overseas. They also help to spread a full understanding of the achievements and problems of Great Britain.
This is the first time that any one from the BSIP has gone to Britain under such a scheme.
