HC Deb 15 May 1956 vol 552 c1811
28. Mr. Willis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps are being taken to ensure the continued use of Inveresk Gate as a research institute.

Mr. J. Stuart

The future of Inveresk Gate, including its possible use for research purposes, is still under consideration. I am not at present able to make a statement.

Mr. Willis

Could the right hon. Gentleman say whether this building is being offered to other Government Departments or nationalised industries for research purposes? Is he aware that there is a considerable feeling that it would be a great pity of it were no longer used for research purposes?

Mr. Stuart

Yes, I agree with the hon. Getnleman, and it is being offered.
