HC Deb 25 March 1936 vol 310 cc1247-8W
Mr. McENTEE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what water-boring experiments have taken place recently, or are in progress, in Uganda or Tanganyika; and with what results?

Mr. THOMAS

In Uganda a successful programme of water boring has been carried out in the northern part of the Protectorate since January, 1931, and this work is being continued and extended. Similar successful work has been carried out in the Tanga and Morogoro Districts of Tanganyika, and further extensive water-boring operations are about to be begun in the Territory.
