§ 8. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what were the weight and value of the total exports and imports shipped at the port of Kilindini in the last years for which statistics are available; and can he give the total port dues or landing charges paid during the same period towards the cost of Kilindini port and harbour?
§ Mr. AMERYExcluding bullion and specie, the value of imports in 1924 was £7,570,502 and of exports £7,653,554. The bill of lading tonnage was, for imports, 220,333 tons and, for exports, 259,326 tons. I have chosen 1924, as my information as to tonnage is incomplete for 1925. The revenue accruing to Government from light dues, pilotage, port dues, and cranage charges at Kilindini Pier was £34,061 in 1924 and £51,909 in 1925.
