§ 79. Mr. G. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give details of the other 50 schemes for colonial development besides the Gambia scheme which are in existence.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsSince the list of the Colonial Development Corporation's 287W undertakings is rather lengthy, I will, with permission, arrange for it to be circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT. For further details of the individual schemes, I would invite the hon. Member to await the Report and Accounts of the Corporation for 1950, which are to be published in the near future.
