§ 72. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps he is taking to assist members of committees of co-operative societies in Uganda to attend courses on co-operative subjects in Kenya and in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Profumo:Although training facilities available to employees of the Department of Co-operative Development are equally available to the voluntary cooperative movement, few African committee members have both the basic education to take advanced studies in English 29W and the leisure to undergo a lengthy course of study; but one committee member is at present attending a course in Kenya. In 1956 ten advanced courses for African committee members were offered in Uganda in six languages and 326 students attended.
