§ 73. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the estimated expenditure on the royal visit to Nigeria.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe cost to United Kingdom voted funds is likely to be about £36,500. The expenditure approved by the Legislatures or Finance Committees of the Federal and Regional Governments in Nigeria totals £700,000, of which a considerable part is normal development expenditure brought forward because of the visit. Some of the expenditure will later be adjusted to other votes as material recovered from camps, stands, etc. becomes available for use on other purposes.
