HC Deb 22 May 1935 vol 302 cc330-1
15. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider arranging for a special long term development loan with a view to accelerating the development of the Colonies and assisting the export trade of this country?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on the 30th of January last.

Mr. CHORLTON

Is there any prospect of such a loan being brought forward later?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

No, Sir. If my hon. Friend will refer to the answer he will see that it stated that wherever there was a decent prospect of doing any development a loan would be raised by the colony, and the Colonial Development Fund would operate to the full capacity in support of such a loan.
