§ 5. Mr. R. Harrisasked the Minister of Works if he is aware that the British Embassy building in Monrovia, Liberia, is in a lamentable state of disrepair, and that a new building is required which would compare favourably with other embassies in that capital; and what action he proposes to take.
§ Mr. BirchI am aware that this embassy is not all that could be wished, but a good deal has been and is being done to maintain it despite its age and the climate. A new embassy will be built as soon as more urgent requirements elsewhere have been met.
