HC Deb 18 February 1948 vol 447 c232W
83. Commander Galbraith

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how often the Colonial Economic and Development Council has met since its formation; and when was the last meeting.

Mr. Rees-Williams

The Council has held twenty-two meetings. Its last meeting was on 25th August. As part of certain changes on the economic side of the Colonial Office re-organisation of the advisory bodies connected with it has now become desirable. I hope that my right hon. Friend will be able to make an announcement on the subject very soon.
