HC Deb 08 August 1966 vol 733 c245W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will now announce the deferment or abandonment of the proposed building of a High Commissioner's residence, offices and staff accommodation at Islamabad at a current estimated cost of £3 million.

Mr. Prentice

The scheme cannot be abandoned but it is being spread over seven years. I am considering whether some further deferment of the scheme is possible.
