The complaints seem to have arisen from the temporary locking-up of trucks largely owing to the unprecedented rush of imports into Uganda at the end of 1924, which were in excess of the handling facilities of the Lake terminus. The position will be eased in future, not only by the construction of the through line to Uganda, which is being expedited, but also by the continual provision of additional trucks and of additional facilities on the Lake. About 400 trucks were supplied in 1924, and further orders are being sent home and executed as rapidly as possible up to the capacity of the erecting sheds at Nairobi, but I must repeat that the present difficulty has been due to special and temporary causes. The latter part of the question of the hon. Member for Batley and Morley (Mr. Forrest) seems to be due to a misunderstanding. The Crown Agents control no railway, and their orders for rolling stock depend on the indents which they receive from Colonial Governments.
