§ Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many of the directors of the Colonial Development Corporation have had experience obtained in colonial territories as required by Section 2 of the Overseas Resources Development Act, 1948; and how many committees have been appointed to study the circumstances and requirements of the inhabitants as laid down in the Act.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsThe majority of directors have had experience in colonial territories. The appointment of committees is at the discretion of the Corporation. So far no committees have been set up, and I understand that the Corporation wish to gain more experience of the territories in which they are operating before they establish this formal machinery.
