HC Deb 07 March 1945 vol 408 cc2034-5W
Mr. Riley

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can now give more information about the constitution, function and powers of the proposed development companies.

Colonel Stanley

The whole question of the part which Government-sponsored Development Corporations might play in the industrial development of the Colonies is still under consideration. I am not yet in a position to make the detailed statement for which the hon. Member is asking.
