HC Deb 19 December 1957 vol 580 c96W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is to be the future of the air service between Zanzibar and Pemba; and what colonial development and welfare funds are allocated for this purpose.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The East African Airways Corporation operates sixteen services weekly between Zanzibar and Pemba. The number will be reduced to fourteen in April, 1958, and thereafter the frequency of services will be adjusted according to the traffic offering. The Corporation operates on a commercial basis and the question of an allocation of colonial development and welfare funds does not arise.
