§ MR. LAIDLAW (Renfrewshire, E.)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if all Government work in Ceylon is done locally in Government factories or through the Crown Agents, instead of being thrown open to public tender in the Colony as in India and other Colonies.
§ COLONEL SEELYIn Ceylon, as in most other Crown Colonies, a large proportion of the public works required by Government is carried out by the Colonial Government itself.
