§ Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has in mind to replace the supplementary benefits premises at 163 Bank Street, Coatbridge; where he will site the new building; what is the estimated cost; and if he will give an approximate date when construction will commence.
§ Mr. AmeryI hope that a site in Muiryhall Street, now under investigation, will be found suitable for a new building to house local offices of the Department of Health and Social Security and the Department of Employment. If there are no difficulties, construction might start in 1975. The present order of cost is £200,000.
