§ 75. Mr. ORMSBY-GOREasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what imperial subsidy was paid by Germany towards the expenses of administration and development in German East Africa in the years 1912, 1913, and 1914, respectively; whether it is proposed to grant a loan of three-quarters of a million sterling to the administration of Tanganyika Territory this year; if so, at what rate of interest and on what terms of repayment; and whether this loan will suffice to cover any administrative deficit in respect to that portion of the territory for which Great Britain has accepted the mandate?
§ Mr. AMERYThe German grant-in-aid to German East Africa for military expenses together with loan expenditure for each of the three years in question was:
It is proposed to grant a loan of £750,000 to the Tanganyika Territory for the year 1921–1922. The terms of repayment and rate of interest have not yet been settled. The loan will suffice to cover any deficit 451 on the actual expenses of administration, but will not be sufficient to meet the considerable expenditure on public works and communications which is necessitated by the fact that no such works could be carried out during the War and by the damage and deterioration caused by the military operations.
