§ MR. ARMITAGETo ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements have been made to supply the lack of steamers working in connection with the Uganda Railway.
§ (Answered by Mr. Churchill.) A third passenger and cargo steamer, the "Clement Hill," was launched on Lake Victoria on the 22nd of December. In addition, a twin-screw cargo steamer of about 1,000 tons, with carrying capacity for 500 tons of cargo, is being constructed, and is due for delivery at Glasgow about the end of March. It is hoped by these means to keep abreast of the growing volume of trade and business during the next two years.
