§ Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will state the number of European settlers accepted for Tanganyika during the past 12 months; how many have actually arrived in that territory; and whether hostels have now been arranged for the reception of their families and adequate steps taken for training on the land preparatory to settlement.
Mr. Creech JonesNo European settlers have been accepted in Tanganyika during the past 12 months for Government-sponsored settlement schemes because the Tanganyika Government is still engaged in examination of the proposed settlement schemes. It may be assumed that provision for training on the land will be included in any settlement schemes and the question of the establishment of a hostel for intending settlers will undoubtedly also be considered by the Tanganyika Government.
