asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what was the amount expended, in the last year for which complete figures are available, on boys' and girls' education, respectively, in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanganyika, respectively, distinguishing expenditure on Government institutions and institutions administered by voluntary agencies with the aid of Government grant?

Dr. SHIELS

As the answer contains a number of figures, I will, with the Noble Lady's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the answer:

In the last year for which returns are available the total expenditure of the Governments of these Dependencies on education was as follows:

£
(a) Uganda (1928) 49,556
(b) Kenya (1928) 162,386
(c) Tanganyika (1928–29) 75,947

Included in these totals were grants to missions totalling:

£
(a)Uganda 28,066
(b)Kenya 31,630
(c)Tanganyika 15,906

It is not possible to give figures showing separately expenditure either by Governments or by missions on female education.
