HC Deb 25 July 1951 vol 491 c62W
75. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what reserve is considered necessary as a stabilisation fund for the Uganda cotton growers; and whether he will consider using part of the £22,000,000 fund to assist African participation in the ginning of cotton.

Mr. Cook

The Government of Uganda have at present under consideration both the question of the amount which should be set aside for the stabilisation fund and the question how any surplus over and above that amount can best be used for the benefit of African producers.
