§ 10. Sir J. D. REESasked the Secretary for the Colonies whether the whole expenses of the Sleeping Sickness Commission have been or will be debited to Nyasaland; and, if the answer be in the affirmative, whether he will consider the advisability of spreading the cost over other administrations which wall share the benefits resulting from these researches?
Mr. HARCOURTThe answer to the first part of the hon. Member's question is in the affirmative. I see no sufficient ground for spreading the cost over other administrations which have incurred and are incurring expenditure in connection with their own sleeping-sickness problems.
§ Sir J. D. REESWill not these researches be also beneficial to other administrations in Africa as well as Nyasaland?
Mr. HARCOURTI hope that all the researches which are being carried out in different parts of Africa will be for the benefit of the whole.
