HC Deb 20 July 1949 vol 467 cc64-5W
55. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the Nigerian Government has now decided to establish a central accountancy school; and to what extent endeavours are made in this country to secure firms who will give facilities for Africans needing experience and training in accountancy and who will employ them temporarily.

Mr. Creech Jones

I have asked the Acting Governor for information on the first part of the Question and will write to my hon. Friend when it is received. Twenty-two Nigerian students are receiving practical accountancy training in this country and arrangements have been made for 14 others to begin training in October.
