HC Deb 19 November 1947 vol 444 c1128
33. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the reasons for the opposition of the Sierra Leone Protectorate Assembly to the Sierra Leone Protectorate (Acquisition of Lands) Ordinance; and why it is considered necessary for the Sierra Leone Government to hold land in the Protectorate on a freehold instead of leasehold basis.

Mr. Creech Jones

I am asking the Governor for a report on the matter, and will communicate with my hon. Friend on receipt of his reply.
