HC Deb 16 June 1924 vol 174 c1721
34. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can state the new railways contemplated, but not actually commenced, in East Africa; whether in all these cases tenders are being called, or will be called, for their construction from independent firms of standing; and whether, in view of the expenditure of public money, he will, in the interest of economy and, efficiency, adopt this course?

Mr. THOMAS

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Hull on the Sth of May.
