HC Deb 27 November 1946 vol 430 cc309-10W
88. Mr. Pritt

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the recent diamond discoveries in Tanganyika; and what steps he is taking to ensure that this field will be developed for the benefit of the people of Tanganyika and not directly or indirectly controlled by private organisations in South Africa or elsewhere.

Mr. Creech Jones

I regret that I am not yet in a position to add anything to my answer to the hon. Member for Banbury (Mr. Dodds-Parker) on 6th November. The matter is receiving my active consideration.
