Passage East is one of the five ports covered by the bulk provision of £120,000 for major fishery harbours in Subhead B of the Vote for Public Works and Buildings, 1961-62. While expenditure will be incurred during the year on trial borings, soil testing, etc. which are necessary preliminaries to the preparation of a design for construction work at the port it is not possible at this stage to say what the extent of that expenditure is likely to be. I should perhaps mention that it is hoped to place a contract in the near future for the trial boring and soil testing work.
