HC Deb 15 July 1953 vol 517 c160W
2. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies who was responsible for the choice of settlers for the Mokwa agriculture scheme; how they were selected; and what training they were given.

Mr. Lyttelton

Prospective settlers have first to be sponsored by the two local Native Authorities. They are examined by a special sub-committee consisting largely of settler representatives. The final selection is made by an advisory committee of the scheme's board of management. Training takes the form of technical supervision by the company's staff.
