§ 27. Mr. Rees-Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress is being made in the development of cooperative cultivation and marketing of bananas and other produce in the Cameroons.
§ The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. George Hall)This matter continues to receive my attention but at present I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for West Leyton (Mr. Sorensen) on 22nd May.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsMay I ask the Secretary of State whether he has in mind, and is taking action upon, the necessities of Jamaica in these matters? He knows to what I am referring. Is he keeping that closely in mind?
§ Mr. HallThat does not arise out of this Question, but we are, as my hon. Friend knows, doing all we can to resuscitate the banana industry in Jamaica.
