Mr. Braddock

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will inform the House as to what action has been taken by the Gold Coast Government on receipt of the report of the Sachs Commission which was set up to report on alleged irregularities in the Customs Department during the war.

Mr. Creech Jones

Since 28th July last, when a full statement was made in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for East Harrow (Mr. Skinnard), it has been decided to terminate the appointment of the officer in charge of the Import Licensing Branch, and to reduce his pension by 5 per cent.
