HC Deb 23 October 1946 vol 427 cc392-3W
142. Mr. C. Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the present strength of the Colonial Service in Nigeria; the number of men who have left the service between the end of the German war and the latest convenient date, distinguishing between retirements on grounds of age, resignations and other reasons for leaving the service; and the comparable figures for 1938.

Mr. Creech Jones

I am asking the Governor of Nigeria for these particulars and will communicate them to my hon. Friend as soon as they are available.
