HC Deb 24 June 1958 vol 590 cc216-7
7. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Works what further restoration work on Donnington Castle, Newbury, is to be done this year; and when the galvanised sheeting blocking the entrance will be removed.

Mr. Molson

The final stage of the repair work to the gatehouse roof will start in July; this will be followed by repairs to the two turrets. Galvanised sheeting has been erected to prevent entry to the gatehouse while work is in progress. This is to protect visitors from danger of injury and also to safeguard materials stored during repairs. It will be removed when the roof repairs are completed, which I hope will be about the end of March, 1959.
