§ 5. Mr. Russellasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will take steps to encourage university geology students to find holiday employment in African Colonies, so as to increase the possibility of searching for uranium deposits.
§ Mr. ProfumoI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given last Thursday, 23rd January, to the hon. Member for Dartford (Mr. Sydney Irving).
§ Mr. RussellIn that reply, my hon. Friend did not say very much about the use of the students in the holidays. Could he say a word about them?
§ Mr. ProfumoIf my hon. Friend reads that reply again, he will see that I have covered the general problem as well as I could. We are taking this matter seriously into consideration.
