Mr. Harvey
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the latest available figures of the rise in the cost of living in Tanganyika; and whether wage bonuses have been provided to correspond with the increased cost of living?
Colonel Stanley
As no statistics relating to the cost of living in Tanganyika had been kept, no accurate index of the wartime rise is available. Cost of living bonuses were approved and introduced in May for Government employees of all communities below certain prescribed salary limits.
