HC Deb 06 November 1929 vol 231 cc1043-4
53. Mr. BOYCE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies how many schemes and at what estimated cost have been sanctioned by Sir Basil Blackett's Committee under the recent Colonial Development Act?

Mr. LUNN

The Colonial Development Advisory Committee have recommended that six schemes submitted to them should be assisted, by way of grant or by way of loan, from the Colonial Development Fund. The estimated total cost of these schemes is approximately £4,400,000. The estimated advances from the Colonial Development Fund, whether by way of loan or grant, amount to £1,020,310, which would be spread over a period of years.

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Will the particulars of this scheme be published?
