HC Deb 03 May 1934 vol 289 c492W
Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Colonies are self-supporting at the present moment; and which these Colonies are?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the Estimates for the current year which indicate the Colonies that are at present in receipt of grants-in-aid from the United Kingdom Exchequer. All the Colonies which are not there mentioned are self-supporting, and meet all recurrent expenditure from local revenue.
