§ Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is proposed to take further action for the promotion of cotton growing within the Empire; and whether, in all cases where there is a Government guarantee of capital or State moneys are invested in cotton-growing companies, steps will be taken to appoint a director representing the British Government?
§ Mr. AMERYA great deal of work, Government and other, is now actively in progress or in prospect, and any practical suggestions for the further development of cotton growing in the Empire will be very carefully considered. With regard to the last part of the question, the usual practice is as stated, and it will no doubt, unless for special reasons, be followed in similar cases.
