HC Deb 09 February 1961 vol 634 c92W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will consult with Commonwealth Governments with a view to the joint establishment of a department to advise on the development of all forms of co-operative societies.

Mr. Sandys:

I have no indication that other Commonwealth Governments desire the joint establishment of a department for this purpose. We already give help in this field when we are asked for it
