HC Deb 07 December 1951 vol 494 c324W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what are the qualifications of the engineers engaged in making the survey of the Okovanga Swamps; how much was allocated for this project; when the sum was allocated; and what is the total expenditure to date.

Mr. J. Foster

The amount allocated in June, 1950, for the preliminary survey of the Okovanga area was £28,000. The rest of the information required will take a little further time to obtain. I will communicate with the hon. Member when I receive it.
