HC Deb 05 December 1938 vol 342 cc874-5W
Sir R. Ross

asked the Prime Minister whether work has been suspended on the road from Wau to Raga in the equatorial provinces of the Sudan; if so, for what reason; and whether he is satisfied that the administration of the Raga district can be carried out properly while the road is not completed?

Mr. Butler

A programme for further work on this road, spread over a period of years, has been submitted and will be implemented as financial conditions allow. Meanwhile there is no reason to anticipate any abnormal difficulty in ensuring the proper administration of the small and scattered population of the remote Raga district.
