HC Deb 14 February 1945 vol 408 c234W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has any further information respecting proposed evictions to facilitate post-war developments in Bathurst, Gambia; when this is likely to take place; how many will be affected; and whether suitable alternative accommodation will first be made available before the removals are carried out.

Colonel Stanley

The scheme for replanning Bathurst and adjacent areas is still in the stage of preliminary investigation, and it is not yet possible to say what form it will ultimately take. In any scheme, great care will be taken to reduce to a minimum any hardships to individuals involved in any transfer.
