HC Deb 01 April 1947 vol 435 cc278-9W
Lieut-Commander Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for War on what grounds he rejected the use of No. Camp at Duddingston as alternative premises for the Army Records and Pay Office in Edinburgh.

Mr. Bellenger

I assume that Preston-fields Camp is referred to. This camp would have needed much alteration to make it suitable for permanently housing a Record Office. It was felt that the labour and expense involved would not be justifiable.
