HC Deb 02 May 1956 vol 552 c375
7. Mr. Tilney

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make arrangements to enable a building society to be established in Lagos.

Mr. Hare

I understand that there is already one building society in Lagos and that the Federal Government have been considering the establishment of another.

Mr. Tilney

Has my right hon. Friend's attention been drawn to the report of the Colonial Development Corporation relating to the difficulties it has had in Lagos?

Mr. Hare

Yes, it most certainly has. As my right hon. Friend said, it is hoped to be able to introduce legislation in this House later which will, I think, deal with the difficulty which has arisen at the present moment.
