HC Deb 13 December 1944 vol 406 c1254W
Major Keatinge

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether an agricultural training school for Indians has yet been set up in East Africa; how many pupils it is intended to accommodate; to what extent it is the intention to create a class of Indian agriculturists in East Africa; and how the land is to be made available for them.

Colonel Stanley

I understand that the Tanganyika Government has announced a small experimental scheme to provide agricultural training for sixteen Indian pupils a year in a two-year course at Morogoro. As regards the third and fourth parts of the Question, I am making inquiries of the Governor as to the prospects of employment for successful pupils.
