§ 15. Major Lyonsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will set up in East Africa as soon as circumstances permit, regional research stations for fresh water and marine fisheries, respectively; and whether Nyasaland, Northern Rhodesia and the Seychelles will be brought into any such schemes.
§ Mr. Emrys-EvansThe establishment of regional fishery research stations in suitable parts of the Colonial Empire, including East Africa, as soon as circumstances permit is under consideration. The location of these stations and the Territories which each of them should serve will be considered in consultation with the Government concerned.
§ Major LyonsWill the Minister nor ask the Department to speed up this matter, because the delay is a little alarming?
§ Mr. Emrys-EvansAll those considerations are held up to some extent by war conditions, but my right hon. Friend is doing everything he can in the matter.
