HC Deb 13 December 1950 vol 482 cc1128-9
26. Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the attention of Nigerians is being drawn to the report of the recent Co-operative Mission from this country, so that they may learn that the charges of unfair discrimination against African co-operative societies by importers have little or no foundation in fact.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The report has been published by the Nigerian Government and is on sale to the public.

Mr. Keeling

Yes, but could I have an answer to my Question?

Mr. Griffiths

I was asked whether the attention of the Nigerians is being drawn to the publication of the report. My reply referred to that.

29. Mr. G. B. Craddock

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will ask the Governors of the Gold Coast and Sierra Leone why the reports of the Co-operative Mission which at his invitation visited those Colonies last year have, unlike the similar Nigerian Report, not been published.

Mr. J. Griffiths

Yes, Sir. I will write to the hon. Member when I receive the Governors' replies.
