§ 25. Mr. Errollasked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the total expenditure on the National Library, Scotland, 1568 increased from £61,787 in 1951–52 to £87,654 in 1952–53.
§ Mr. J. StuartI am glad to be able to inform my hon. Friend that the increase in estimated expenditure on the National Library of Scotland for the year 1952–53 is due almost entirely to the progress that is now being made with the Library's urgently-required new building.
