HC Deb 26 July 1939 vol 350 c1458
55. Mr. Creech Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet in a position to make a statement on the Cocoa Commission Report arising out of the West African dispute?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I have now received the recommendations of the Governors of the Gold Coast and Nigeria on the Cocoa Commission Report, and I have them under consideration.

Mr. Creech Jones

How soon may we expect from the Government a statement on their policy in the matter?

Mr. MacDonald

I have undertaken to consult interests in this country before I make that statement. I shall undertake that consultation at the earliest possible moment.
