HC Deb 18 November 1958 vol 595 c132W
94. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any of the members of the good will cotton mission which has recently left Uganda for India under the leadership of the Minister of Natural Resources is representative of or nominated by the Uganda Co-operative Movement which plays a significant part in cotton marketing in the Protectorate.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

None. The marketing of Uganda Cotton overseas is the responsibility of the Lint Marketing Board and this body was accordingly represented on the Mission. The Uganda Co-operative movement is concerned solely with primary marketing and processing within Uganda, where I agree it plays a significant part.
