§ Mr. HANNONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether further economies of £385,000 must be effected before the 1923 Budget of Kenya Colony can be reduced to £1,200,000, the figure 1469W necessary for financial stability; and whether he can hold out any hope of this being done?
Mr. WOODI have seen these figures in the newspaper report of a public speech made by a member of the Governor's Economy Committee. I cannot vouch for their accuracy, but I have received no indication from the Governor that a balance between revenue and expenditure is unlikely.
