HC Deb 16 November 1949 vol 469 c2020
43. Colonel Gomme-Duncan

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what percentage of the 10-year plans under the Colonial Development Acts have had to be revised on account of rising costs or for other reasons.

Mr. Creech Jones

Two out of the 23 approved Colonial development plans have been revised, four others are in the course of revision or are about to be revised, and the remainder will fall to be revised under general arrangements which provide for review in the light of changed circumstances at approximately three yearly intervals.
