HC Deb 20 March 1958 vol 584 c1419
34. Colonel Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements are being made for the future financing of the Cameroons Development Corporation.

Mr. Profumo

Proposals have been made by the Colonial Development Corporation for its participation in the Cameroons Development Corporation. These proposals are at present under consideration locally.

Colonel Beamish

Can my hon. Friend say how long it is likely to be before the House can be given more information in view of the fact that the financing is likely to be on a large scale by the Corporation, which has done excellent work since the war?

Mr. Profumo

I agree with the last observation made by my hon. and gallant Friend, but I am afraid I cannot answer the first part of his supplementary question, except to say that all speed is being used.

Mr. J. Johnson

Will the Order in Council mentioned a moment ago be debatable in this House? Will it be subject to the affirmative or the negative Resolution procedure.

Mr. Profumo

It will not be debatable in this House.
