36. Mr. W. Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken to survey a link between the Central and East African railway systems; and when he anticipates that construction of this link will be begun.

Mr. Creech Jones

It is hoped to make a start with the surveys next month. Decisions in regard to construction must await the results of the surveys.
