§ Mr. HUME-WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether he is in a position to give any information with regard to the proposed extension of the Shiré Highland Railway northwards to Lake Nyasa; and whether he can give the date it is proposed the work shall be commenced and the route which the extension is likely to follow?
Mr. HARCOURTI regret that, pending the passing of the East African Protectorate Loan Bill, I am unable to give any information on the subject.
