HC Deb 26 March 1936 vol 310 cc1430-1W
Miss CAZALET

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can give figures to show the production of cotton in Tanganyika territory during 1935 as compared with the two previous years?

Mr. THOMAS

The Tanganyika figures since 1933 are approximately as follows:

  • In 1933, 11½ million lbs.,
  • In 1934, 12½ million lbs., and
  • In 1935, 22½ million lbs.
I am glad to be able to say that the 1935 figure constitutes a new record for cotton production in Tanganyika.
