§ Mr. T. Reidasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what representations were made to him recently by white civil servants in the Gold Coast and Nigeria in respect to their pecuniary and other conditions of service.
§ Mr. LytteltonIn both Nigeria and the Gold Coast representatives of the overseas civil servants explained to me their serious anxieties about their financial position, their security of tenure in their posts and other matters affecting their conditions of service. These matters had already been causing me concern and I took the opportunity to discuss the problem frankly with African Ministers and the Governors in both territories.
