HC Deb 10 November 1930 vol 244 c1316
63. Major ROSS

asked the First Commissioner of Works what progress is being made in the building of the British Ministry at Lima; and whether it will be completed as soon as originally contemplated?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Lansbury)

A contract for the building is about to be placed, and it is hoped to start shortly. There has been some delay due to the unexpectedly high tendering for the original scheme, which has now been revised to effect economies.
