§ Sir L. Plummerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the terms of reference of the proposed commission to draw up plans for agricultural and other economic developments in each district of Tanganyika.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydIt is not proposed to appoint a commission for this purpose in Tanganyika. As a result of a petition presented to the Governor by ten African members of the Legislative Council it has been decided in agreement with these members that local plans for increasing agricultural production and for the further development of natural resources should be drawn up by the Department of Agriculture in consultation with District Commissioners, Native Authorities and District Councils. These plans will thereafter be examined by a Committee to be chosen from the members of the Legislative Council.
