HC Deb 04 April 1951 vol 486 cc193-4
25. Sir R. Acland

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make a statement on the number of steel ridging ploughs suitable for small mixed farms imported into Nigeria in each of the last four years for which figures are available; and if he is satisfied that there is now no risk that shortage of such ploughs may be a limiting factor restricting the number of mixed farms which can be established.

Mr. Cook

I have asked the Governor of Nigeria for information on both parts of the Question, and will write to my hon. Friend when I receive it.
