§ 62. Sir A. LAMBERT WARDasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress is being made 2033 with the Tanga-Dar-es-Salaam road in Tanganyika, advocated by the Hilton Young Commission?
§ Mr. LUNNMy Noble Friend understands that, except for a section of some 35 miles, a practicable road exists between these two points, but he has no information as to whether or when the Tanganyika Government propose to complete the road.
§ Sir A. LAMBERT WARDIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the road as it exists at present is entirely unsuitable for motor traffic, or at any rate heavy motor traffic, and that the bridges will not carry a weight exceeding 1½ to 2 tons?
§ Mr. LUNNI am not aware of that fact, but, as I have said, we have no information as to when it will be completed.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREWill the hon. Gentleman make a special inquiry of the Government of Tanganyika regarding this particular road, as I understand there is a good deal of public feeling about the condition of the bridges?
