HC Deb 22 December 1954 vol 535 c290W
74. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the smuggling of cocoa between Togoland, under United Kingdom trusteeship, and Togoland, under French trusteeship; and what steps he is taking in the matter.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The smuggling of cocoa from the Gold Coast and Togo-land under United Kingdom trusteeship is an offence under Gold Coast law. The Government of the Gold Coast have strengthened their control of the border and over the carriage of cocoa within the Territory and I am informed that these measures have been effective.
