§ Mr. Patrick Maitlandasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has considered the request of the Gambia Government, in Savingram, S.2881H/67, 17th May, 1951, to permit three officers previously employed by the Gambia Government to import to the United Kingdom on the most favourable terms possible cars privately bought by them for official use; and what steps he has taken in this matter.
§ Mr. HopkinsonI understand that two of the officers referred to have since taken up other employment abroad, and that in consequence the question does not arise in their cases. As regards the third officer, I am in communication with the appropriate Government Department.
