§ 96. Mr. Kingasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has considered the Report of the Commission of Inquiry and the conduct and management of the Customs and Supplies Department of Gold Coast Colony; if he is aware that the Commission substantiated charges of corruption and inefficiency and what action he proposes to take.
Mr. Creech JonesI have read the Report of the Commission and have noted with great regret the conclusion that there has been misconduct and mismanagement by some officers of the Gold Coast Customs Department. I am at present actively considering with the Government the steps to be taken as a result of the Report's findings, and I regret that I am not yet in a position to make a statement in answer to the last part of the Question.
