HC Deb 01 August 1956 vol 557 c145W
57. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies by how much he expects in this financial year to increase the amount available to the Colonial Development Corporation for financing overseas projects.

Mr. Hare

The Corporation estimate their requirements for approved schemes at about £7 million for the current financial year. I cannot forecast how much they will require for new schemes which may be approved between now and the end of the financial year.
