HC Deb 27 July 1949 vol 467 c135W
69. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies which projects of the ten-year development plan for Barbados have been started; and how much money has been expended on them.

Mr. Rees-Williams

The ten-year development plan for Barbados has not yet been approved by the Legislature. A number of projects which were included in the draft plan have been and are being financed from local revenues, but I am not in a position to say what precise proportion of expenditure will count against the plan when approved.
