§ The following Question stood upon the Order Paper in the name of Mr. RANKIN:
§ 30. To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the dissatisfaction in the Gold Coast through the decision of the Government to build a bungalow at a cost of £80,000; and why the ceiling of £5,000 per bungalow, agreed on last year, in view of the need for expanding the social services, has not been maintained.
§ Mr. RankinOn a point of Order. There is a slight error in line 3, for which I am fully responsible. " A bungalow " ought to be " eight bungalows."
§ Mr. J. GriffithsI have to answer the Question which is on the Order Paper, and the answer is: If my hon. Friend will let me have more precise information as to the bungalows to which he refers, I will make inquiries of the Governor.
§ Mr. KeelingWill the right hon. Gentleman explain whether a ceiling which has not been maintained is one which has fallen down or one which has been pushed up?
