HC Deb 05 November 1930 vol 244 c882W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what has been the cost of the Government House at Nairobi and of the Governor's summer residence in Mombasa; and what was the expenditure on these two buildings in the last complete financial year?

Mr. LUNN

I have been asked to reply to this question. Up to 31st December, 1929, the expenditure provided from loan funds for public 'buildings was as follows:

£
Government House, Nairobi 64,005
Government House, Mombasa 19,416

No expenditure was incurred on either during the year 1929. The cost of furniture for the two Government Houses, provision for which was made in the Kenya estimates for 1927, was £12,228.
