§ 16. Mr. R. Robinsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has now completed his negotiations with the Economic Co-operation Administration with regard to the attachment of 28 American geologists and associated scientists to the Colonial Geological Survey Service; when recruitment will begin; and to which Colonies will these geologists be sent.
Mr. Creech JonesYes, Sir, and I hope recruitment will begin very shortly. Only 26 geologists are now required, 10 will be posted to West Africa, 13 to East and Central Africa, two to the Borneo territories and one to British Guiana.
