§ Rear-Admiral BEAMISHasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies the total membership of the Kilimanjaro Planters' Association; whether this association is a registered company or an association working for the financial gain of its members; and whether its annual returns and accounts are filed with the registrar of joint stock companies at Dar-es-Salaam?
§ Dr. SHIELSIt is assumed that the hon. and gallant Member refers to the Kilimanjaro Native Planters' Association, which has some 11,750 members, and which is an association working for the mutual benefit of its members. My Noble Friend has no information to show whether it is registered as a company in Tanganyika or whether its accounts are filed with the Registrar of Companies, but inquiry will he made of the Acting-Governor on the point.
