39. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what expenses were incurred by the Government of Sierra Leone in respect of the recent strikes; how the Government propose to meet this extra expenditure; and how the financial responsibility in connection with the War Department strike has been allocated?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I have not the material for which the hon. Member asks; but am making inquiries of the Governor.

Mr. Sorensen

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when he is likely to receive information regarding this matter?

Mr. MacDonald

I am asking for it by dispatch, and I will let the hon. Member have the information as soon as I receive it.
