§ Mr. W. Fletcherasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what lighters and tugs have been transferred from Tanga to other East African ports during the last twelve months; and if he will give an assurance that the lighters and tugs at present in Tanga are sufficient to prevent any hold-up from this cause of sisal awaiting shipment at Tanga.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsThree lighters and one tug were withdrawn for repairs. I am assured that sufficient craft will be maintained at Tanga to ensure the shipment of sisal.
