HC Deb 16 July 1957 vol 573 cc97-8W
56. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the terms of the Agreement between the authorities of Fernando Po and the Federal and Regional Nigerian Governments in respect of wages and conditions of employment for Nigerian workers in that area.

Mr. Profumo

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to a revised Agreement drawn up in July, 1956, to replace the 1954 Agreement. According to my latest information, this later Agreement has not yet been brought into force because certain aspects of it are still under negotiation between the Governor-General of Nigeria and the Governor-General of the Spanish Territories in the Gulf of Guinea. I am asking the Governor-General of Nigeria for further Information and will circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT when I have it.
