HC Deb 09 May 1927 vol 206 c12
16. Mr. KELLY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India when it is proposed to begin work on the new India House in London; and when it is hoped the building will be sufficiently advanced to house the staff of the High Commissioner?

Earl WINTERTON

The plans of the building are being prepared and it is hoped that work will be started before the end of the year. It is not anticipated that the building will be ready for occupation before the year 1929.

Colonel DAY

Will the Noble Lord say what the estimated cost of this building is going to be?

Earl WINTERTON

No, Sir.
