§ 34. Mr. LUNNasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies from what source the grant by the government of Kenya of £12,500 to guarantee the free-on-rail price of maize at 4s. 6d. a bag for export has been found; and whether any benefit to native producers can be expected from this grant?
Mr. J. H. THOMASThe funds are being provided from the general revenues of the Colony. It is anticipated that the subsidy will have the effect of enabling native producers to get a better price, for their maize.
