HC Deb 25 February 1931 vol 248 c2112
34. Mr. BOYCE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies the cost to Tanganyika of the Henn Railway Commission; and if he will say whether it is the intention of the Government to proceed in the near future with the construction of any railroads in Tanganyika; and, if so, between what points?

Dr. SHIELS

No information is available at present as to the exact cost of this Commission. Pending the receipt of reports on economic and technical surveys which are now in progress, no decision has been reached in regard to the construction of any new railway lines in the territory.
