asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the finances and incidence of liability as between the Imperial and Kenya Governments with respect to the Uganda-Kenya Railway have now been settled; and whether a statement upon the same will be made to the House?

As I informed the House on 15th February, 1939, it has been decided to invite Parliament to agree to the remission, subject to one condition which has been accepted by the local authorities, of the claim for £5,500,000 in respect of the original cost of construction of the Kenya-Uganda railway.

When will that be submitted to the House?

I hope at an early date.
