§ MR. CATHCART WASON (Orkney and Shetland)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can state the amount paid by the Government for the maintenance of the East Africa administration, the number of salaried Government officials and of salaried representatives of absentees and syndicates, approximately the number of bona fide settlers.
§ MR. RUNCIMAN (for Colonel SEELY)The amount of the grant-in-aid of the East Africa Protectorate for the current year is £138,000. The Secretary of State is unable to furnish the other figures for which the hon. Member asks, but will ask the Governor to supply them, as nearly as they can be ascertained.
