HC Deb 01 October 1941 vol 374 c568
37. Mr. Harvey

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies the price paid to African coffee growers for their coffee, under the coffee marketing scheme, as compared with the former prevailing price in Kenya and Tanganyika; and whether the interests of the African native growers are represented in any way on the Board of Control?

Mr. Whiteley

My Noble Friend has not yet received any information regarding the prices being paid to African coffee growers for the season which has just opened. The Government representation on the Board can be relied upon to ensure that the interests of the native producers are amply safeguarded.
