HC Deb 02 April 1952 vol 498 c131W
58. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the total amount now in the African Maize Betterment Fund, Kenya; and how this is being utilised.

Mr. Lyttelton

The estimated balance in the Agricultural Betterment Fund, to which I assume the hon. Member refers, was £560,578 on the 31st December, 1951. The Fund is used by African District Councils to encourage the development of African agriculture.
