HC Deb 08 August 1966 vol 733 cc247-8W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works why the estimate for the erection of High Commission offices in Kampala has increased from £120,000 to £190,000; and whether there is scope for a reduction in the scope of the project.

Mr. Prentice

The increase was due to additional requirements since the first estimate was formulated in 1963, and to a decision to include all sections of the High Commission within the new building. The construction is almost complete.
