Mr. Dugdale
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what has been the cost to the United Kingdom Government of the recent famines in Kenya, and Tanganyika, respectively.
Mr. H. Fraser
As regards Kenya, Her Majesty's Government have made £295,000 available. The cost of assistance provided by the H.M. forces is not yet known. As regards Tanganyika, I can only say that the request for a grant of £300,000 mentioned in my reply to the hon. Member for Swindon (Mr. F. Noel-Baker) is still under consideration.
