§ 56. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the contract for the new quays and grain silos in Malta have been completed; if the contract for the next part of the project, the construction of the sheds in the port of Valetta, has been invited; and if local contractors have been invited to submit tenders.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThe contracts for the new quays and grain silo are not likely to be completed before early in 1961.
Following advice from the engineering consultants the Malta Government do not now intend to make the construction of the transit sheds the subject of a separate tender. Subject to agreement on costs the main contractor will carry out this work.
