Hmmm ... interesting. 1) "Is the noble Baroness aware that Goa sent representatives for many years to the Portuguese Parliament, so it was closely allied with Portugal and Goans spoke Portuguese?" (Lord Orr-Ewing)
I should add, as early as 1834 (Bernardo Peres da Silva of Neura). Francisco Luis Gomes would represent Goa at the Portuguese Courts from 1861 to 1869. 2) "Is she aware that when I was last in Portugal, before this revolution, the representative of Goa was then sitting in the Portuguese Council?" (Baroness EMMET of AMBERLEY) Would this be Narana Coissoró? or Purxotoma Quenim? ----- Original Message ----- > From: Frederick Noronha <[email protected]> > To: "Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994!" <[email protected]> > Cc: > Sent: Thursday, 2 February 2012 10:51 AM > Subject: [Goanet] Goa, Goan, Hansard's > >T hanks to Cyprian Fernandes' blog, I came across this very interest link: > http://cyprianfernandes.blogspot.in/2011/07/goans-britains-favourite-migrants.html > > It goes back to 1976, and sections of the Brit Parliament voicing > concerns about Goans entering the UK: > http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/lords/1976/may/26/goans-uk-passports#column_262 > I guess one could interprete it in many different ways.
