HC Deb 18 December 1956 vol 562 c147W
Mr. P. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what further action is proposed for the development of the various coal deposits in African territories for which he is responsible.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The desirability of intensifying plans for the development of coal resources in Colonial Territories is being investigated, but no conclusions have yet been reached. I will be glad to discuss the position with my hon. Friend.
