§ Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if more land will be allocated to Africans in the Fort Jameson district of Northern Rhodesia, in view of the decline in European tobacco farming.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydNo. The 1941 Government bought 3¾ million acres in this district from the North Charterland Company for African re-settlement—now Native Trust land—and since then it has bought four farms comprising 26,000 acres for use for African farming while remaining Crown land.
