HC Deb 25 July 1962 vol 663 c145W
45. Mr. Strachey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the cause of the delay in the building of Ninewells Hospital; and if he will give the scheduled completion date.

Mr. Noble

There is no avoidable delay. The preparatory work for this very large project is progressing satisfactorily. It is expected that building will start in 1964; the construction time will probably be five to six years.
