HC Deb 24 April 1958 vol 586 cc95-6W
83 and 84. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations (1) if he will make a statement on the recent interviews which representatives of the Government of Ghana had with Her Majesty's Treasury for the purpose of promoting the investment in Ghana of British funds and what results were achieved;

(2) the subjects he discussed recently with the Ghanaian trade delegation to Britain and the results achieved.

Mr. Alport

The main purpose of the Ghana Trade and Good Will Mission which we recently welcomed to the United Kingdom was to stimulate further interest in Ghana in private industrial and financial circles, rather than to conduct official negotiations with Governmental authorities. I do not doubt that the contacts made by the Mission will lead to a further expansion of mutually beneficial trade and investment between the United Kingdom and Ghana.
