HC Deb 07 August 1919 vol 119 cc567-8W
Major GLYN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it is intended to retain for the use of the Navy, under Peace conditions, the land and buildings at Throsk, on the south bank of the Forth; and, if not, how that land and those buildings will be disposed of so that local interests may be best considered in view of special local circumstances?

Dr. MACNAMARA

It is intended permanently to retain the site and buildings, and negotiations for the purchase of the former are now in progress.
