38. Mr. WATT

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the total sum spent and to be spent on the Lagos harbour works, Southern Nigeria; of what works do the plans consist; will he say what each branch of the work is expected to cost; and who is responsible to his Department should the figures be exceeded?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Harcourt)

I will circulate the reply.

Mr. WATT

May I ask why a contract price was not arranged for this work?

Mr. HARCOURT

It is not being done by contract.
