§ 43. Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what provision has been made by the Government of Mauritius for labourers to farm uncultivated land.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsA pilot land settlement scheme covering a three-year period was approved this year. The scheme will make available about 600 acres, a large part of which was previously uncultivated, for small holdings and allotments. In addition, the Food Production Board has allotted extensive areas of previously uncultivated Crown land to growers.
