HC Deb 27 November 1958 vol 596 c546
35. Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proposals have been made by the Government of Tanganyika during the last twelve months for providing funds for extra-mural work by Makerere College.

Mr. Profumo

None, Sir.

Mr. MacPherson

Is not this an urgent matter in view of the fact that extra-mural work is going on successfully both in Kenya and in Uganda? Is it not possible for the hon. Member to find ways outside the ordinary revenues of the Colony to obtain money, in view of the fact that the success of the work in Kenya depends very largely on a grant from the Carnegie Corporation?

Mr. Profumo

I understand that the Tanganyika Government will be reviewing the matter afresh in the light of the forthcoming recommendations of the Working Party on Higher Education.
