Is my right hon. Friend aware that in 1962 I first decided to visit Portuguese Guinea because of claims that the revolution controlled two-thirds of the territory, and it is now 1973? It is a small territory, which the Portuguese could not possibly hold without the consent of the people. They have that consent, because the people are much freer and more prosperous in Guinea Bissau than in Guinea Conakry.
