HC Deb 17 June 1958 vol 589 c888
36. Colonel Beamish

asked 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. Profumo

This 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 Beamish

Is 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. Profumo

Indeed, I am aware of that. I am also aware that the local authorities are fully aware of these relevant considerations.
