HC Deb 14 March 1939 vol 345 cc186-7
2. Mr. Hannah

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the city of Edinburgh has accepted the offer made on 20th February last by the National Trust for the preservation of Tailors' Hall buildings, and also the offer of HeriotWatt College to use them for library and other purposes?

Mr. Colville

I am informed that the corporation have decided not to accept the offers referred to by the hon. Member.

Mr. Hannah

Were the terms of the offer fully set out to the committee by the Town Clerk of Edinburgh?

Mr. Colville

That is a matter on which I can hardly pronounce, but I understand that the terms were fully known by the corporation.

Mr. Hannah

Is it known that the National Trust is very much dissatisfied?
