§ Sir CLEMENT HILLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the statement in the Report on the Uganda Protectorate of 1908–9, that the satisfactory progress in the development of the export of cotton on a great scale is only checked by the lack of transport facilities from the Interior to the Lake shore, His Majesty's Government will take into 1532W their early consideration the question of enabling the protectorates of Uganda and East Africa to raise a loan under Government guarantee for the purpose of developing their natural resources, and constructing, or inducing the construction of light railways and metal roads suitable for motor-wagon traffic?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEThe question of the improvement of transport facilities in Uganda is at present engaging the careful attention of His Majesty's Government.
