Separate provision is also to be made for Colonial research (hitherto assisted out of the Colonial Development Fund) up to a maximum of £500,000 a year to be administered with the assistance of the new Colonial Research Advisory Committee. This proposal follows the suggestion made by Lord Bailey in "African Survey."
The intention is that £5,000,000 and £500,000 a year respectively should be the maximum figures. It must fake time to frame carefully plans of development and research and to translate them into operation. "These maximum figures have been reached after estimating what expenditure seems desirable and practicable for a reasonable period of years ahead. They will be subject to review from time to time and should experience show that they are insufficient it will always be open to Parliament to increase them. So far as concerns provision for development and welfare the position will have to be reviewed before expiry for any ten year period, "ft will be noted that these measures of assistance by the taxpayers -of the United Kingdom will be extended without distinction not only to all British Colonies and Protectorates but also to all territories administered by Government under the mandatory system."
