HC Deb 22 April 1953 vol 514 c1158
30. Mr. R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress has been made with the reconstruction of Castries; how far the costs have exceeded the estimates; and whether sufficient funds will be made available for this purpose.

Mr. Lyttelton

The main work of rebuilding Castries is complete. The final costs will not be known for some time, but on present information there may be an excess over estimates of up to £130,000 which will be met from colonial development and welfare funds.
