HC Deb 06 June 1912 vol 39 c280
22. Sir HILDRED CARLILE

asked whether it is intended that no further Grant-in-Aid will be given by the Imperial Government towards the finances of British East Africa; and whether, in that case, the Colonial Office proposes to alter the form of local government so as to give the Colonists a full voice in the spending of their own money?

Mr. HARCOURT

I am not in a position to say whether or not any further Grant-in-Aid from Imperial funds will be required for British East Africa.

Sir HILDRED CARLILE

In the event of further financial aid being required, will it be forthcoming?

Mr. HARCOURT

I think that that question approaches the region of hypothesis.
