HC Deb 08 May 1947 vol 437 c83W
90. Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the economic crisis impending in the Northern territories of the Gold Coast owing to the shortage of disc hoes, without which farming is impossible; and whether he is arranging for sheet steel to be supplied to manufacturers of these hoes.

Mr. Creech Jones

I have received no such report from the Governor of the Gold Coast, but I am making an inquiry into the matter.
