§ 22. Mr. Rileyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will give favourable consideration in the near future to the co-operative marketing of colonial produce on the lines indicated in the Report of the West African Cocoa Commission, 1938.
§ Mr. Emrys-EvansThe subject of co-operative marketing is constantly receiving attention both here and by Colonial Governments, but the lines which such developments will follow will naturally vary according to local circumstances. In West Africa the Co-operative Societies have been assisted during the period of war-time control, and in considering long-term plans for the West African cocoa industry, the recommendations of the West African Cocoa Commission will certainly be borne fully in mind.
