§ 65. Mr. Tilneyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that on the plateau in South Adamawa there live about 54,000 people and about 250,000 cattle without means of ingress or egress by road; and what plans there are for building a road.
§ Mr. ProfumoI think my hon. Friend must have in mind the Mambila plateau. At present there is a dry season track to it from the Southern Cameroons. For the past eight months British consulting engineers have been surveying a route for an all season road from Yola, and it is hoped that work may be started on it before 1960.
