HC Deb 28 July 1955 vol 544 c187W
Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what sums were spent, respectively, on soil conservation measures in African and European areas in Kenya during the last recorded year; and what is the nature of the schemes on which these sums have been spent.

Mr. Hopkinson

I am not sure whether separate figures for expenditure in African and European areas, respectively, can be provided, but am making inquiries and will write to the hon. Member. The work done in 1954 included farm planning, terracing, dam construction, drainage and advice on cultivation and grazing methods.
