HC Deb 12 November 1952 vol 507 cc49-50W
67. Mr. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the amount of land set aside for European settlement in Tanganyika during 1950 and 1951; and how much it is planned to set aside for 1952 and 1953.

Mr. Lyttelton

Land is not set aside for European settlement in Tanganyika and there is no planned yearly target of unoccupied areas to be released for development. The objective of the Government's policy is that the development of the territory's land and agricultural resources should be carried out by the combined efforts of all races.

Total acreages leased to Europeans are as follow: 1950—137,000; 1951—228,000; 1952 up to July—181,000.
