HC Deb 01 August 1899 vol 75 c1043
SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the harbour works at Famagusta contemplated in the Colonial Loans Bill.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLIAN,) Birmingham, W.

The works consist of dredging out the old harbour and building a quay wall alongside of which ships can berth to load and discharge cargo.

SIR CHARLES DILKE

What is the proportion of expense on actual harbour works?

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

Perhaps the right hon. Baronet will ask me that again.
