§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies which Colonies will be assisted in 1932 from the £700,000 allocated to the Colonial Development Fund (Grant in Aid); and what work is contemplated involving expenditure in Britain?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI propose shortly to lay before the House the Third Interim Report of the Colonial Development Advisory Committee covering the period from 1st April, 1931, to 31st March, 1932. This, read in conjunction with the First and Second Interim Reports (Cmd. 3540 and Cmd. 3876), will contain particulars of all the schemes towards which assistance has been recommended by the committee since its inception, and of the amount which it is expected to spend in the United Kingdom on each scheme. In so far as the sum of £700,000 included in the Estimates for 1932–33 is not already allocated to Colonial Governments, it is impossible to forecast what further recommendations may be made by the committee during the year.
