§ MR. ARMITAGE (Leeds, Central)To ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any, and, if so, what arrangements have been made to supply the lack of house accommodation as mentioned in the Report of the locomotive superintendent of the Uganda Railway, March, 1906.
§ (Answered by Mr. Churchill.) I regret to say that it has not yet been found possible to make arrangements to supply the lack of accommodation referred to. Improved accommodation is required not only for the railway officials but also for the other officials of the Protectorate. In view of the limited resources of the Protectorate and its other urgent needs it is not possible to proceed very rapidly in the matter; but a considerable sum has been provided in the Estimates for next year for the improvement of the quarters of the ordinary Government officials.
