§ MR. HERBERT SAMUEL (Yorkshire, W.R., eleveland)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will state the conditions on which land is granted to intending settlers in 872 the Protectorates of British East Africa and Uganda; whether any land is granted freehold; what is the maximum period for which leases are granted; and whether he has any official communications on these points from the Chief Commissioners of those Protectorates.
§ LORD CRANBORNEI shall be happy to give the hon. Gentleman a copy of the East African Crown Lands Ordinance, 1902, which will give him a great deal of the information he requires. The corresponding Ordinance for Uganda has not yet been enacted.
