HC Deb 11 February 1948 vol 447 cc76-7W
78. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider in conjunction with the Gold Coast Government how export trade in West African pottery and furniture could be developed.

Mr. Rees-Williams

The Gold Coast does not yet produce pottery on a scale commensurate with an export trade. The possibility of developing this industry will shortly be considered in the Gold Coast. The development of an export trade in furniture is already under consideration.
