HC Deb 25 June 1952 vol 502 cc179-80W
67. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what technical assistance the Gold Coast is receiving from the United Nations.

Mr. Lyttelton

Two candidates from the Gold Coast have been awarded fellowships under the United Nations programme of technical assistance, and a third has been recommended for one by the United Nations Selection Committee. Sixteen more applications which have only recently been submitted are under consideration.

The Gold Coast Government are fully aware of the other facilities available under the United Nations programmes and are considering making applications for assistance.
