HC Deb 10 November 1937 vol 328 cc1795-6W
Mr. Holdsworth

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any information with regard to the campaign against sleeping sickness in Nigeria?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

An expanded scheme for the control of sleeping sickness in Northern Nigeria came into operation this year. The scheme, which is additional to other methods of control already carried out by the Government, will extend over a period of five years at a cost of £30,000 per annum, of which £19,000 per annum will be provided from the Colonial Development Fund.
