HC Deb 23 November 1925 vol 188 cc960-1W
Major CRAWFURD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will ask for a Return of any land alienated in Tanganyika territory to white settlers, and the conditions upon which such alienations have taken place?

Mr. AMERY

On 31st December last, British subjects, including missions, but excluding Indians, held 1,106,994 acres; British Indians held 266,154 acres; and foreigners held 396,142 acres. With regard to the conditions of tenure, I would refer the hon. Member to the section on land in the Report on Tanganyika Territory for 1924, published by the Stationery Office as Colonial No. 11. As pointed out in the answer to the hon. Member for East Woolwich (Mr. Snell) on the 27th of July, land is no longer alienated in freehold title.
