§ 70. Mr. Bennasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent the grant for social research in the Colonies is to be reduced; when this cut will take place; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HareI am assuming that the hon. Member is referring to the allocation made between various fields of research of a sum of £8 million made available under the Colonial Development and Welfare Acts. A sum of £525,000 of the total has been set aside for the period ending 31st March, 1960, to assist social research in the Colonial Territories. There is no intention of reducing this allocation.
