HC Deb 14 April 1959 vol 603 c64W
65. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what conditions will have to be fulfilled by European and African farmers who take up land in the Kafue River Development Scheme in Northern Rhodesia; what loans will be made available; and whether the farms to be let are on the basis of freehold or leasehold.

Mr. J. Amery

I assume that the reference is to a pilot polder scheme on the Kafue River, still in its earliest experimental stage. The conditions under which land in the area might be made available to private individuals for intensive farming in the future has yet to be decided.
