Mr.. Butlerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent help is being given by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund to maternal and child welfare schemes, through the medium of community development services, in Kenya, Tanganyika, and Uganda, respectively.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe United Nations Children's Fund provided sums of $140,000 and $92,000 in March, 1956, and April, 1957, for programmes of mothercraft and homecraft activities in Kenya and Uganda, respectively. A further sum of $50,000 was provided in April, 1958, for a similar programme in Tanganyika, but in this instance I am not yet aware that the programme has been agreed with the Tanganyika Government. In all three cases, the provision is for a two-year programme linked with existing maternal and child welfare services within a broad community development or social development programme organised by the respective Governments.
