HC Deb 22 July 1929 vol 230 cc880-1
5. Commander OLIVER LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Secretary of State for India when the Vizagapatan harbour will be opened for shipping; and what further delays are likely?

Mr. BENN

The latest progress report expresses the hope that the new harbour will be opened for shipping in 1932. Investigation of the dredging problem has shown that completion by 1930, the date which had at one time been hoped for, is now out of the question.
