42. Mr. ANNESLEY SOMERVILLE

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he proposes to use the provisions of the Colonial Development Act to encourage railway construction in Southern Tanganyika?

Mr. THOMAS

Certainly, Sir. As soon as the Governor can submit definite proposals, they will be referred to the Colonial Development Committee.

Mr. BROCKWAY

Will the right hon. Gentleman make sure that there is no forced labour on this scheme?

Mr. SOMERVILLE

Have any instances of forced labour been brought to the right hon. Gentleman's notice?
