HC Deb 04 August 1924 vol 176 c2497
8. Mr. J. HARRIS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the estimated sum of £2,500,000 for the Takoradi harbour works includes the erection of necessary administrative buildings, such as the custom house, post office, and harbour offices?

Mr. THOMAS

The estimated sum includes the cost of various railway structures and customs sheds which form an integral part of the harbour-works, but not such other administrative buildings as those to which my hon. Friend refers. These latter buildings will no doubt be erected separately by the Colonial Government when the Takoradi township is being laid out and constructed.
