HC Deb 02 July 1957 vol 572 cc94-5W
70. Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the total amount of aid granted to British Honduras from United Kingdom funds firstly, under the Colonial Development and Welfare Acts, and secondly, in any other way during the periods 1946–1951 and 1952–1956, respectively; and how much this represents per head of the population.

Mr. Profumo

During the period ending 31st March, 1952, the amount granted from C. D. & W. funds was £1,094,903 and from other sources £504,564. During the second period the amounts were £1,550,172 and £434,991. On the basis of estimated population figures this represented just under £25 per head of the population over the whole of the first period, and about £26 10s. 0d. over the whole of the second.
