Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any decisions have been taken as to the com- 1070W parative rates of pay of Africans of higher educational qualifications in the Civil Service of Nigeria?
§ Mr. Ormsby-Gore:Certain proposals made by the Governor of Nigeria are to be put into effect provisionally, pending a comprehensive review of conditions of service as a whole for locally recruited officers in West Africa.
A Sessional Paper giving detailed information on the subject has been laid before the Legislative Council, and I will see that a copy, when available, is placed in the Library of the House.
