HC Deb 11 June 1928 vol 218 c655W
Captain CAZALET

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the rate at which harbour dues are charged at Lagos and other West African ports, he contemplates taking any steps to have them reduced?

Mr. AMERY

I have not received any recent representations on the subject of harbour dues at Lagos or other ports. The Governments immediately concerned are, of course, alive to the need of keeping the dues as low as is consistent with a reasonable recoupment of the expenditure incurred on the harbours.
