§ Mr. D. GRENFELLasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the trip across Africa by motor car by the chief transport officer of the Gold Coast colony is an official trip; and from what source will the cost of the trip be paid?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERThe official in question is proceeding on leave of absence in the ordinary course, and has been given permission to travel overland. Under the rules he will be paid from Gold Coast funds a sum equal to the cost of a direct passage by steamship, and will find the balance of his expenses himself.
