7. Commander OLIVER LOCKERLAMPSONasked the Secretary of State for India what date can now be given for the opening of the Vizagapatam port; and why the delay has occurred ?
§ Sir S. HOAREThe delay is due mainly to unforeseen difficulties in dredging and maintaining the outer channel. I cannot say on what date the opening will take place, but I do not anticipate any great further delay.
