HC Deb 05 December 1946 vol 431 c139W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware that Murrayfield ice and sports stadium has been requisitioned since 3rd September, 1939; that it has subsequently been evacuated by the R.A.S.C. and the N.A.A.F.I. and is now being used as a stationery store; if he is aware that the most modern refrigeration plant is installed in this building; and if he will give a date when it is likely to be made available to the citizens of Edinburgh.

Mr. Tomlinson

The answer to the first three parts of the Question is in the affirmative. With regard to the last part of the Question, this store is the issuing depot of the Stationery Office for Scotland and the North-Eastern counties of England, and I regret that in the absence of any suitable alternative accommodation, I am unable to indicate a date on which the premises are likely to be released.
