HC Deb 14 March 1929 vol 226 cc1272-3
67. Mr. KELLY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India the total amount expended out of Indian revenues to date on the new capital scheme at New Delhi: whether any part of this scheme still remains uncompleted; and, if so, what is the estimated cost of the work outstanding?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Earl Winterton)

The amount expended up to the end of November last was Rs.13,37,06,820, and the balance of the estimate required to complete the project was at that date Rs.1,11,42,380. The sterling equivalents of these amounts, converted at 1s. 6d. the rupee, are respectively £10,028,011 and £835,678. These are the latest figures available.
