§ 30. Mr. G. M. Thomsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the estimated cost to date of the state of emergency in Nyasaland.
§ Mr. J. AmeryOne hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds is the estimated cost to the Nyasaland Government.
§ Mr. ThomsonWill the Under-Secretary of State say whether that includes the cost of erecting the detention camps? What will be the cost to the Federal Government, and in future will Ministers add that cost to the total financial benefits which the Nyasaland people are supposed to be receiving through Federation?
§ Mr. AmeryIt is not for me to comment on the Federal aspect. I will look into the problem whether the cost includes the erection of detention camps.
