HC Deb 01 May 1957 vol 569 c12W
Mr. W. T. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies for what reason facilities are denied to African producers to market flue-cured tobacco at Northern Rhodesian tobacco auctions.

Mr. Profumo:

There are no tobacco auctions in Northern Rhodesia, so the Question does not arise. I would add that the control of marketing of tobacco is a responsibility of the Federal Government.
