§ 31. Miss Vickersasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how much money has been spent on improvement schemes for agriculture in Kenya in the financial years 1956–57, 1958–59, and 1959–60.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydGross expenditure on agricultural development in Kenya in the financial year 1956–57 was just under £3 million. Estimated expenditure in the years 1958–59 and 1959–60 is £5¼ million and £3½ million.
§ Miss VickersWhile thanking my right hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask him to press on with these schemes, in view of the fact that Kenya has no mineral resources and that this is the best form of development?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI very much agree with my hon. Friend.
