§ 43. Mr. Dayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the mineralogical survey of Nyasaland which has been proceeding since 1934 has now been completed; and will he give particulars, according to the last reports he has received, of the progress that has been made with the complete agricultural survey of the Northern Province; and what further action the Government now propose to take?
Mr. M. MacDonaldIt is estimated that the mineralogical survey will be completed by 1940. The agricultural survey of the Northern Province is being carried out by aerial and ground surveys under officers familiar with the terrain, and it is hoped that it will be completed by the end of this year. I shall then expect to receive a report on the results from the Government of Nyasaland.
§ Mr. DayHas there been any preliminary report following the survey that was taken after the Lacey Report on Labour?
