§ Mr. Morganasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the fact that, in addition to the recent disturbances and economic difficulties in the West Indies, there are serious problems connected with the cocoa and palm oil industries in West Africa, trouble in Northern Rhodesia, distress in Mauritius, and a fall in the purchasing capacity of the cotton growers of Uganda and Tanganyika, he can now give an assurance that the proposed Royal Commission to investigate West Indian problems will have the fullest scope for examining and reporting on Colonial economic policy as a whole?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI would refer my hon. Friend to the replies which I gave to him on 22nd June and to my hon. Friend the Member for Ayr Burghs (Sir T. Moore) on 29th June.
