HC Deb 24 October 1945 vol 414 c1993
30. Major Wilkes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if there are any plans for raising the standard of living in the Colonies by the creation of public development corporations.

Mr. George Hall

It has been suggested to Colonial Governments that they should consider the use of public development corporations in the general task of promoting Colonial economic development. I am going further into the possibilities, but no precise plans have yet been made.
