asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if his attention has been called to the decision of the Gwembe Native Authority to spend part of the money, granted to it as compensation for the evacuation of its people from their Zambesi Valley homelands, on a secondary school; and how much expenditure the Government of Northern Rhodesia is saved by this decision.

The proposal is for the cost of this school to be borne by the Gwembe Special Fund, not the Tribal Compensation Fund. There is no saving to the Northern Rhodesia Government.
