HC Deb 21 December 1954 vol 535 cc2584-5
35. Mr. Hannan

asked the Minister of Works the accepted tender price for the new offices at Maryhill Road, Glasgow; and whether the contract was fixed under a time and penalty clause.

The Minister of Works (Mr. Nigel Birch)

It would be contrary to normal practice to disclose the amount of accepted tenders for Government contracts, but I can say that the contract contains the usual penalty clause for delay.

Mr. Hannan

Can the Minister give any indication of when this building is likely to be completed?

Mr. Birch

I understand that it is due to be completed by 31st March, 1955.
