§ Mr. BowdenI regret that the figures of firms or companies and of the total sum involved are not available. The Ghana Government is, of course, aware of our anxiety that these funds should be released as soon as possible and I understand that they are doing their best within the resources available to them to approve transfers and to provide the foreign exchange.
