HC Deb 16 June 1937 vol 325 c354
22. Mr. Mathers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now in a position to indicate what is his attitude towards the request of the Nigerian Motor Transport Union for a reduction of the double-licence fees imposed upon its members and for representation on the transport advisory board?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

I have not yet received the report from the Governor of Nigeria which I am expecting, and I have recently addressed him on the subject.

Mr. Mathers

Does not the right hon. Gentleman think that from the month of March to the month of June is a very long time even to deal with a matter affecting Nigeria; and will he see that the matter is expedited?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

Only last week I said that a further request had been made to the Governor for a report.
