HC Deb 20 July 1955 vol 544 c43W
65. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make a statement on the progress of the schemes of development of Gibraltar discussed with the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association delegation last January.

Mr. Hopkinson

Reference has been made in answer to Questions Nos. 17 and 19 to the progress made in respect of tourism and port development. As the hon. Member will be aware, a sum of £500.000 has been allocated from colonial development and welfare funds to Gibraltar and a sum of £40,000 out of the Colony's allocation has now been earmarked to cover the expenditure on housing during the first year of a new scheme.
