HC Deb 02 March 1927 vol 203 c384
2. Mr. DUNNICO

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how the Sudan grant-in-aid has been disbursed; if there is any balance in hand; and if any of the grant has been set aside for a memorial of the late Sirdar?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

Except for the sums paid to Lady Stack and the victims of the outrage in which the late Sirdar lost his life, the Sudan grant-in-aid remains intact, the capital and interest being earmarked for certain benevolent objects in the Sudan recommended by the Sudan Government and approved after consultation with the Leaders of the Opposition. Sir Lee Stack's name will be given to two of these objects, namely, a Provincial Benevolent Fund for the relief of eases of genuine distress, and to a memorial dining hall and library, which are badly needed by the Gordon College at Khartum.
