HC Deb 02 May 1932 vol 265 c814W
Dr. O'DONOVAN

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if it is intended to sanction the erection of temporary non-residential buildings for Government administration in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia; and what sum is estimated to be spent on this in the next year?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I am not aware whether it is proposed to erect any temporary non-residential buildings for Government administration at Lusaka. It is intended to remove the headquarters of certain Government Departments to the site of the new capital during the present financial year, and the expenditure of £100,000 has been sanctioned for the purpose. I have already written to the Governor asking him to furnish me with fuller particulars of the programme to be followed and the manner in which it is to be carried out.
