§ 77. Mr. Beswickasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if an economic and marketing officer has yet been appointed by the Department of Commerce of Uganda; and if this officer will consult the Co-operative Department on the promotion of retail co-operatives.
§ Mr. LytteltonThere are 12 such posts. Last year one of these officers was specifically appointed to deal with problems of African retail trade.
I have no doubt that he will consult the Co-operative Department on the issue mentioned in the second part of the Question.
