HC Deb 26 February 1924 vol 170 c312W
Mr. J. HARRIS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet in a position to make any statement with regard to the Takoradi harbour works; and whether the Gold Coast Government has agreed to the despatch of an eminent engineer to make an independent examination into the difficulties which have arisen in connection with the construction of this harbour?

Mr. THOMAS

I have arranged for Mr. Palmer, of the firm of Rendel, Palmer and Tritton, to proceed to the Gold Coast at an early date and report to me on the whole question. The Governor has been informed of the appointment and concurs in it.
