HC Deb 04 March 1948 vol 448 c77W
4. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations why the Io-year Development Plan for Basutoland includes the construction of a new administrative centre valued at a sum of £16,000, four times that set aside for the training of African medical officers; and whether this sum will be spent instead on productive purposes.

Mr. Gordon-Walker

This scheme, which was for the construction of an administrative centre in the mountain area, has now been abandoned, at least for the time being.
