asked the Secretary, of State for the Colonies what plans have been made concerning transport between Tanganyika and Northern and Southern Rhodesia.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Creech Jones)

The expansion of this link will depend upon public demand and no definite projects are yet under consideration.
