HC Deb 05 March 1951 vol 485 cc22-3W
117. Mr. Nugent

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when he expects to be able to make his intended statement about the reorganisation of the Gambia poultry scheme.

Mr. Cook

My right hon. Friend would prefer not to tie himself to a precise date. It is important that the Board of the Corporation should be allowed sufficient time to formulate considered proposals. They have assured me that they will lose no time in doing this, and for my part I shall naturally wish to make my further statement as soon as possible thereafter.
