§ 15. Mr. R. Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what Cooperative organisations are registered in each Colony, Protectorate, and/or Trusteeship Territory; and the membership in each case.
§ Mr. HopkinsonThe list would comprise the names of over 8,000 organisations with a total membership in the region of some 960,000. While I appreciate the hon. Member's interest in the Co-operative movement in the Colonies, I do not feel that the value of such a list would justify the work involved in obtaining the necessary information from each colonial Government. I should, however, be glad to obtain the information for the hon. Member in respect of any territory in which he is particularly interested.
