§ Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many hides improvement officers there are in Nigeria; how many of these posts still remain unfilled; and bow many Nigerians are now training in the United Kingdom for these posts.
§ Mr. HareMy latest information is that there are seven posts filled and six vacancies. I understand that one Nigerian is now being trained in this country and that arrangements are being made to train four next year.
