§ 14. Mr. PARKINSONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proposals he has under consideration from the Colonies for schemes under the Colonial Development Act; and what is the estimated cost of each scheme and the Colony affected?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERIt has never been the practice (nor do I think it would be in the public interest) to publish information with regard to schemes which are under consideration. Particulars of recommendations made by the Colonial Development Advisory Committee are, of course, included in the annual reports of that committee which have been laid before Parliament.
§ Mr. ANNESLEY SOMERVILLEMay I ask whether this Act has not been of advantage to the Colonies, and whether the right hon. Gentleman encourages the extension of its usefulness?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERIt has been of great advantage and I am very grateful for it.
