§ Mr. Emeryasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether he will make a statement about the application to the United Nations Special Fund for assistance in a survey of the Okavango Swamps in the Bechuanaland Protectorate.
§ Mr. SandysI am glad to be able to say that the United Nations has agreed to undertake a preliminary survey of the Okavango Swamps in the Bechuanaland Protectorate at a cost of about $48,000. The Bechuanaland Protectorate Government will make a contribution towards the cost of this survey from the £1.2 million of new Colonial Development and Welfare money of which my hon. Friend informed the House on 6th July.
