HC Deb 30 January 1957 vol 563 cc971-4
15. Dr. Bennett

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what buildings and properties in London his Department still holds or occupies, other than the Admiralty block in Whitehall; and what are the conditions of his tenure of Queen Anne's Mansions.

Mr. Galbraith

I have arranged for the list of properties to be circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT. I understand that the Ministry of Works holds Queen Anne's Mansions on a 21-year lease dating from 1947.

Dr. Bennett

Is this mighty place owned on behalf of the Admiralty entirely?

16. Dr. Bennett

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will publish a list of the buildings and properties at present occupied or held by his Department in Hampshire, other than those in the dockyard port of Portsmouth and the Borough of Gosport.

Mr. Galbraith

Yes, Sir, the list will be published in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Dr. Bennett

Is it not a fact that there are a great many more stone frigates than steel ones in Hampshire?

Mr. Galbraith

There are more buildings in Hampshire because Portsmouth is our principal naval port and naturally. therefore, the number of outlying buildings there is larger than it is in other parts of the country.

Dr. Bennett

Is there not room for many of them to be now inside the Dockyard?
