HC Deb 24 May 1922 vol 154 c1208
53. Mr. RAFFAN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he anticipates the Budgets of the West African dependencies to show a credit balance or deficit for the year ending 1923?

Mr. WOOD

In the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone and the Gambia the Estimates for the current year show a surplus of revenue over ordinary expenditure. In Nigeria the Estimates show a deficit, which will be met from surplus balances.
