HC Deb 11 April 1951 vol 486 c1008
31. Mr. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if a decision has now been reached on the future of the Colonial Development Corporation's poultry farming project in the Gambia.

Mr. J. Griffiths

No, Sir. The Corporation's review of the project is not yet sufficiently advanced for them to be able to inform me of their proposals.

Mr. Hurd

Can the Minister say when he hopes to make a statement, as there is great public anxiety about this matter?

Mr. Griffiths

No, I shall make a statement as soon as I receive the proposals from the Corporation.
