HC Deb 24 April 1967 vol 745 c203W
20 and 21. Mr. W. Baxter

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works (1) what was the estimated and actual price of the three, four and five apartment houses built on the Churchill Estate for the naval personnel engaged at the Polaris naval base;

(2) how many firms submitted tenders for the building of the houses on the Churchill Estate, Helensburgh; and how many were Scottish.

Mr. Prentice

The prices are about £2,600 for a three-apartment house and £2,800 for a four-apartment house. The five-apartment houses have not yet been designed. Road and site works add about £1,000 to the cost of each house. The houses are being designed and constructed by the Scottish Special Housing Association. No private firms have been invited to tender for this work.
