HC Deb 16 June 1958 vol 589 c57W
Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the British Council in Sierra Leone is housed in condemned buildings in Freetown, and that this is having a bad effect upon public opinion in the Colony; and what measures he will take to alter this state of things.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The unsatisfactory state of the building has been reported to me by the Governor and to the Council by its representative in Sierra Leone. Difficult problems arise however over the site, form and cost of a new centre, which are being examined urgently.
