HC Deb 16 May 1969 vol 783 cc298-9W
Mr. Wall

asked the Minister of Overseas Development why the valuations for the third year of the 500,000 acre farm resettlement scheme in Kenya have not yet been made.

Mr. Oram

The hon. Member is no doubt referring to the programme of purchases by the Kenya Agricultural Development Corporation. Owing to delays at the outset, this scheme has been running behind schedule. I understand the Kenya authorities have not yet finally decided on the details of the programme for the third phase, but as soon as these have been agreed, the valuations can begin.
