HC Deb 18 April 1956 vol 551 c69W
58. Mr. Vaughan-Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has now approved the development programme for British Guiana; what is the amount of expenditure envisaged; and from what sources it will be financed.

Mr. Hare

The plan which is being put to the Legislative Council for approval provides in my view a satisfactory basis for development in the Colony. It envisages expenditure of nearly £20 million in the period 1956 to 1960 and will be financed from loans, Colonial Development and Welfare grants and revenue contributions.
