§ Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how much Crown Land lies along the shore of Lake Kariba.
§ Mr. Lennox-Boyd,pursuant to the reply of his hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary [OFFICIAL REPORT, Tuesday, 3rd March, 1959; Vol. 601, c. 207], supplied the following further information:
On the north bank of the Zambesi there is a strip of Crown Land approximately ten miles long and two miles wide running upstream from the Tonga (Sigongo) Native Reserve and abutting Native Trust Land in the west. The site of the Kariba Dam is about six miles above the Native Reserve boundary. The shore of Lake Kariba will run from the Dam through Crown Land until it cuts the boundary with the Native Trust Land about four miles upstream at a point about one mile inland from the present river bank.
