HC Deb 04 June 1947 vol 438 c182
30. Mr. W. R. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is satisfied with the progress of the work on the new haulover bridge in British Honduras and the expenditure on this work to date.

The Secretary of State for the Colonies (Mr. Creech Jones)

Yes, Sir. The Governor has recently inspected the bridge and reports that progress upon it is satisfactory. It is expected that the bridge will be completed by the end of September, 1947. Expenditure upon this work to date amounts to £35,000.

Mr. Williams

Has my right hon. Friend had an opportunity of looking at the wages paid to the special labourers and the common labourers on this job, and is he satisfied with the rate of remuneration?

Mr. Creech Jones

I have not had my attention drawn to that.
