§ 76. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has any further information in respect of constitutional development in Nigeria.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsYes. Since my reply of 6th November to my hon. Friend the Member for Attercliffe (Mr. J. Hynd) satisfactory progress has been made in resolving outstanding points of detail in regard to the new Constitution, and the constitutional instruments are now in course of preparation. Recommendations on the form of electoral system have been made by the respective Regional Houses and are now under consideration by the Governor. The expert Committee 191W appointed to inquire into the allocation of revenues will shortly present its report to the Governor, and I hope that the financial relationship between the central and regional administration will then be settled.
