asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what progress the Government of Basutoland have made in developing secondary industries in the Protectorate.

A preliminary survey of the possibilities of developing secondary industries, with special reference to woollen textiles, has been recently made. A further report will shortly be available. In addition, United Nations technical assistance is being sought for help in agricultural extension work and the possible establishment of fisheries.
