§ Mr. MANDERasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether an agreement has now been come to with 883W reference to the proposed pipe line from the Iraq oilfield to the Mediterranean coast and what increase of cost is involved if the proposed bifurcation takes place?
§ Mr. LUNNI have been asked to reply to this question. As I informed the hon. Member for Devonport (Mr. Hore-Belisha) on Monday last, no agreement has been reached. I am not in a position to give any estimate of the cost of constructing the pipe line or to say what extra cost, if any, will be involved if it taken to more than one port. The expense will naturally fall upon the company which builds it.
