Amendment to letter

Dear Editor,

My letter to you kindly published in Stabroek News yesterday proposing the purchase by government of the old New Building Society’s premises ended on a note which was intended to be facetious involving NICIL financing, but which I admit may have caused offence (‘Government should acquire the old NBS building for the Commercial Registry’).

What I ought to have said is that the government should have no difficulty in obtaining the co-peration of the parliamentary opposition in obtaining supplementary budgetary provision for this most advantageous purchase.

Yours faithfully,
Leon O Rockliffe
