HC Deb 20 October 1954 vol 531 c1176
2. Mr. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will give an assurance that all substantial racial groups in Tanganyika will be represented on the Board of the Tanganyika Agricultural Corporation, and that it will be the policy of the Board to prohibit racial discrimination in its service, to train Africans progressively for the higher grades of service, to aim at progressively raising standards of living in its service, and to encourage the promotion of cooperative organisations amongst Africans.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The composition of the Board and its policy will be primarily matters for the Tanganyika Government. I am sure the Governor will have very much in mind the kind of consideration to which the hon. Member has drawn attention.
