§ 70. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any decision has yet been reached respecting any unspent surplus of grants available for 10 years' development in Nigeria.
§ Mr. Rees-WilliamsI assume that my hon. Friend refers to grants available under the Colonial Development and Welfare Vote. The rate of expenditure of Nigeria's allocation from this source, as of the allocation made to other Colonial territories, is being continuously watched, but I would point out that little more than a quarter of the period covered by the Nigerian 10-year development plan has yet elapsed.
