HC Deb 14 July 1954 vol 530 c36W
77. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction of the people of Grenada at his decision further to reduce the 1954 Estimates for the Medical Department and Education by $10,000 and $5,000, respectively; and that the Estimates had previously been pruned by the local Finance Committee, which is comprised of local experts with a knowledge of all the facts; and if he will, therefore, now review his decision on these matters.

Mr. Lyttelton

In consultation with the Governor, I have temporarily reserved the sums of $15,000 and $10,000 on the medical and education heads in view of Grenada's difficult financial position. I see no reason to revise this decision.
