§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL () Yorkshire, N. R., ClevelandTo ask the Under Secretary of state for Foreign Affairs whether he can state the cost of constructing and removing the temporary rope inclines used on the Uganda Railway.
(Answered by Lord Cranborne) The total expenditure on the rope inclines to which reference is made has been £31,362. This includes the greater part of the cost of removal, a comparatively small item in any case. Against this, on the other hand, for whatever they are worth, must be set the materials which have become available for use elsewhere.
