HC Deb 17 October 1950 vol 478 c229W
Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what projects his department consulted the Colonial Economic Development Council during 1949–50.

Mr. J. Griffiths

One of the principal functions of the Colonial Economic and Development Council is to advise me in my consideration of the draft development plans which are submitted by Colonial Governments and which include a description of their more important economic projects. Plans of this kind upon which the Council has been consulted since the beginning of 1949 include those of Antigua, Dominica, the Federation of Malaya, Fiji, Grenada, Mauritius, Montserrat, St. Lucia and the Somaliland Protectorate.
