Mr. WALLACEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will give instructions in the proper quarter that full particulars of the land, buildings, equipment, wharfage, etc., which may be available for industrial purposes in and around Rosyth Dockyard, with an indication of the approximate terms of purchase or lease, be supplied to the Dunfermline local development committee recently set up by the Dunfermline municipal council?
Sir B. EYRES MONSELLParticulars of the land available have already been furnished to the Dunfermline authorities. The facilities that might be granted in the use of buildings, equipment and wharfage must depend upon the proposals of the applicant. The terms of purchase or lease would be a matter for negotiation in the normal way. At the suggestion of the Dunfermline Burgh Council, the Admiralty Superintending Civil Engineer at Rosyth Dockyard has been appointed a member of the executive sub-committee of the development committee referred to by my hon. Friend.
