§ Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what cuts have been made in the Colonial Development and Welfare Fund for education in Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland; what income has been diverted to the Federal Treasury which otherwise could have been used for African education; and what plans for the expansion of African education have been curtailed.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThere is no separate Colonial Development and Welfare Fund for education in these Territories. Their allocations for all development and welfare purposes remain as announced in Cmd. 9462. No income has been diverted to the Federal Treasury which otherwise would have been used for African education, plans for which are being drawn up by the Governments concerned in relation to the funds likely to be available.
