§ Colonel Lyonsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will arrange for a review by a fishery expert of the further commercial possibilities of the marine and inland fisheries in East African waters; whether any co-operation in this direction, including biological research, is contemplated with the Union Government of South Africa; and whether the railway and harbour authorities in East Africa will be encouraged to assist by developing cold storage facilities at suitable centres and by taking an active interest in a development so advantageous to the whole community of these African territories.
§ Colonel StanleyEast Africa has recently been visited by Dr. Worthington, a leading expert on fisheries and a member of my Fisheries Advisory Committee. His recommendations are now under consideration by the East African Governors' Conference, and I have no doubt that these suggestions, which I will communicate to the Conference, will be taken into account in their deliberations.
