HC Deb 30 July 1952 vol 504 c131W
6. Mr. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress the East African Disposals Board are making in clearing and selling equipment and buildings accumulated for the purposes of the groundnut scheme in Tanganyika; and when he expects that this will be completed.

Mr. Lyttelton

Between 1st August, 1951, when the Board formally took over the Corporation's surpluses, and 30th June last, their sales realised £1,364,000. Much material has yet to be sold. It is not possible to say when the operation will be completed.
