HC Deb 30 April 1963 vol 676 c99W
Mr. Mason

asked the First Secretary of State what consideration he has given to the setting up of a Central African Economic Council with representatives from the three territorial Governments and Her Majesty's Government, to maintain essential economic links when the political assembly is dissolved.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I have considered many suggestions for maintaining essential economic links between the Central African territories, but the need is to evolve through discussions an effective relationship which is acceptable to each of them.
