§ 36. Colonel Beamishasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has completed his inquiries into the future financing of the Cameroons Development Corporation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ProfumoThis is primarily a matter for the local authorities, and my right hon. Friend is not directly concerned at this stage. I am afraid I have nothing yet that I can add to the Answer I gave my hon. and gallant Friend on 20th March last.
§ Colonel BeamishIs my hon. Friend aware that very important improvements and developments planned by the Cameroons Development Corporation have been hanging fire for quite a long time? Is he therefore aware that an early decision would be very welcome?
§ Mr. ProfumoIndeed, I am aware of that. I am also aware that the local authorities are fully aware of these relevant considerations.
