HC Deb 26 July 1950 vol 478 c63W
122. Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the total expenditure which will be incurred in the rebuilding of Castries, St. Lucia; and on whom the cost is going to fall.

Subject to the approval of Parliament, His Majesty's Government proposes to provide up to £1,025,000 towards this cost; the remainder, it is proposed, should be met by St. Lucia loan funds.
