§ 60. Mr. E. L. Mallalieuasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent the recent decisions of the International Tin Council to cut world tin production will affect Colonial Trust Territories who are producer members; and what steps are being considered by Her Majesty's Government to counteract the unemployment which has already resulted.
§ Mr. ProfumoNigeria, which is not, of course, a Trust Territory, is the only Colonial Territory represented on the Council. While Her Majesty's Government give all the assistance in their power to promote economic prosperity in the Colonies, immediate responsibility for dealing with particular problems of unemployment falls inevitably on the Colonial Governments concerned.
