§ 16. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how much has been spent in the Crown Colonies during each of the last three years on transport development; and what is the approximate value of such uncompleted development work now in hand?
§ Mr. AMERYThe figures at my disposal do not enable me to answer the hon. Member's question without reference to the Colonies concerned. I may perhaps add that the preparation of a complete return of the expenditure of all the Colonial Governments on road and rail development and on harbour works would be a laborious matter, but if the hon. Member will be so good as to communicate with me I will endeavour to see whether approximate figures could not be given sufficient to meet his purpose.
