§ Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he intends to fill the vacant place on the board of the Colonial Development Corporation; and if he will bear in mind the need of a member with experience of tropical agriculture.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydMy right hon. Friend hopes to announce, at any rate, one appointment, very shortly. Experience of tropical agriculture is of immense importance to the Corporation; but it does not necessarily follow that it is as members of the board that persons with special qualifications in that field can best serve the Corporation.
