§ 32. Mr. Errollasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the roads in Kenya will be brought up to the standard of the roads in Uganda.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsComparisons are difficult to make but in Kenya there are greater distances in relation to population, less favourable soil conditions, heavier traffic, and greater expense involved in building and maintaining roads. Larger sums have, however, been allotted to road development in the Kenya development plan.
§ Mr. ErrollIn view of the urgent need in Kenya for improved roads will the Under-Secretary of State urge the Governor to press on rapidly with better road construction?
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsThere is, as the hon. Gentleman knows, I think, a road authority committee appointed by the Governor to go into this whole question.
