§ Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what amount of moneys from colonial development and welfare funds have been spent upon extramural work in East Africa by Makerere University College in the years 1956 and 1957, respectively; and what are the plans to expand this work, particularly with regard to establishing extra-mural studies in Tanganyika.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydA colonial development and welfare grant of £12,000 has been made towards the salary and expenses of the Director of Extra-Mural Studies. Since July, 1956, issues of £9,600 have been made against this grant, of which the sum of £5,432 was spent in the year ending June, 1957. I am asking the Colonial Governments concerned whether they have considered with the Makerere College authorities any proposals the latter may have for extending the work of the Extra-Mural Department, and I will circulate a further reply in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
