HC Deb 02 December 1953 vol 521 c134W
Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the nature of the $300,000 building project abandoned by the Ellis Associated Companies in British Guiana; and by what agency the development envisaged in this project will now be undertaken.

Mr. Lyttelton

I understand that the firm intended to enter the local building trade and, in particular, to produce pre-fabricated wooden houses. I am hopeful that the firm concerned, or others, will now take up the project.
