§ Mr. SCURRasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether any Report has been received from the League
66Wthat during the inquiry into the Masai disturbances it was shown that approximately 10,000 head of cattle were taken from the Masai, he will say whether these cattle were sold; what was the amount of money realised by the sale; and to what funds were credited the proceeds of such sale of cattle?
§ Mr. AMERYIn replying to the hon. Member on the 5th of May, 1924, the right hon. Member for Derby (Mr. J. H. Thomas) stated that, of the fine of 9,915 head of cattle, sheep and goats, 4,047 were returned to the Masai and the rest sold for £4,326, and that, after allowing for compensation and other expenditure in connection with the disturbances, a balance of £2,509 remained which would be partly deposited in the Native Trust Fund and partly spent on works of benefit to the Masai. I have no definite later information, but it would appear that the amount actually credited to the Trust Fund was £3,000, and that of this, £1,000 was to be devoted to the construction of dams.
