asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what adjustments have been made in the Ten Year Development Plan for Nigeria as the result of lack of revenue; and what action is being taken by the Nigerian Government to secure additional funds to implement the whole plan.

The revised plan has not yet been laid before the Nigerian Legislative Council and I am still in consultation with the Governor on it. I expect that it will be laid before the Legislative Council at its meeting next month and at that time I should be very glad to deal with the point raised. But I think that a statement by me at present would be premature.
