HC Deb 21 June 1950 vol 476 cc1288-9
46. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Prime Minister whether he has considered the advisability of merging the Overseas Food Corporation and the Colonial Development Corporation with statutory provision for the project in Queensland.

The Prime Minister

I can see no advantage in disturbing the present administrative arrangements by such a change.

Mr. Sorensen

Is the Prime Minister aware that there is a certain amount of overlapping between the two bodies, and will he at least consult the Secretary of State for the Colonies about the possibility of these two bodies being merged?

The Prime Minister

Consultation has already taken place.
