20. Captain CAZALET

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many all-weather aerodromes there are in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanganyika?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I under stand that there are about 75 aerodromes and landing grounds in Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika. My information does not enable me to say which of them can be regarded as all-weather landing grounds.

21. Captain CAZALET

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many miles of all-weather roads are administered and maintained by the Public Works Department in Tanganyika outside townships?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Outside townships and district headquarters, the Public Works Department is responsible for 2,652 miles of main roads and 757 miles of district roads, Grade A. These are earth roads, but can be used for the greater portion of the year.
