§ 50. Dr. SHIELSasked the Under-Secretary of State or the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he is aware that no sanitary conveniences exist in the upper ward of Edinburgh Castle for the use of visitors to the National Memorial; and, seeing that representations have been made without avail to the Office of Works to have the matter remedied, will he take immediate steps to put this matter right?
The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Lieut.-Colonel Sir Vivian Henderson)Lavatory accommodation for men is already provided in the upper ward of Edinburgh Castle. Provision has been made in the current year's Estimates for the conversion of a disused building in Crown Square into ladies' lavatories, and it is expected that the work will be completed before the end of July.
