HC Deb 29 May 1951 vol 488 c8W
80. Mr. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if, in consultation with the Chairman of the Colonial Development Corporation, he has considered whether the public interest demands that a charge of criminal negligence should be brought against those responsible for the loss of £820,000 on the Gambia poultry project.

Mr. Cook

I understand that no such offence exists and that no question of any criminal proceedings arises.
