§ 43. Dr. Segalasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what active assistance he is giving to Fourah Bay College, Sierra Leone, in their search for new premises; and what are their prospects of finding permanent accommodation.
Mr. Creech JonesMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War has agreed to an extension up to May, 1950, of the lease of the War Department buildings which the college now occupies at Mount Aureol. I am at present awaiting a communication from the Governor stating whether the terms proposed are acceptable to the Sierra Leone Government; if, as I hope, such arrangements are made the question of the provision of permanent accommodation will not be one of immediate urgency.
