§ 25. Sir WALTER de FRECEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what was the amount of the original estimate for the realignment of the Sekondi-Kumasi Railway; and how does it compare with the actual cost of the completed work?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThe original estimate for improving the Sekondi-Kumasi Railway, which included the cost of relaying the line as well as the cost of realignment, amounted to £1,000,000. It was estimated that £582,000 of this expenditure would have been necessary whether the railway were realigned or not. The work is not yet finished, and I am, therefore, unable to give figures of the final cost.
