§ 42. Mr. Dumpletonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give favourable consideration to the acquisition of the German owned plantations in the Cameroons by the Government of Nigeria for development as cooperative plantations, in view of the fact that the nearby Ibo country is overpopulated and large numbers of people are obliged to emigrate from Eastern Nigeria to the Spanish colony of Fernando Po, to find a living.
§ Mr. George HallThis matter has already been discussed with the Governor of Nigeria, and I hope soon to receive his proposals.
