§ 26. Mr. Skinnardasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action has so far been taken to implement the policy laid down in Colonial Paper No. 197, Organisation of the Colonial Service.
Mr. Creech JonesCommand Paper 7167, "Colonial Empire (1939–1947)," contains, in paragraphs 96 to 102, a review of progress in this field up to the middle of 1947, and I shall, of course, include an account of any further significant developments in my Annual Review of the Colonial Empire, which will be presented to Parliament next summer. In the meantime, since Colonial No. 197 covers such a very wide field, perhaps my hon. Friend will let me know if he desires further information on any particular aspects of the policy described in that Paper.
