NYASALAND. (Hansard, 26 March 1936)

HC Deb 26 March 1936 vol 310 c1430W 1430W

Miss CAZALET
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can give details of the production of cotton in Nyasaland over the past three years?

Mr. THOMAS
The Nyasaland figures since 1933 are approximately as follow:

In 1933, 2½ million lbs;

In 1934, 4¾ million lbs., and

In 1935, 8¾ million lbs.

Nyasaland production, my hon. Friend will observe, has more than trebled itself over the period in question.
