§ 79. Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider using some of the surplus in the Native Tobacco Board in Nyasaland for local agricultural research and the appointment of further agricultural inspectors.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsSurplus funds of the Native Tobacco Board are paid over to the Nyasaland Native Development and Welfare Fund which can use them for purposes likely to be of benefit to the Africans. While the Native Tobacco Board already employs market supervisors, it is primarily for the Agricultural Department to employ agricultural staff and a general agricultural experiment station in Nyasaland is being financed from other sources; but I will communicate the hon. Member's suggestion to the Governor.
