HC Deb 15 November 1949 vol 469 cc183-4W
20. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for War what stage has been reached in the discussion between his Department and the Corporation of Glasgow in regard to compensation for the use of Bellahouston Park; and how far the pace of these discussions is delaying the re-opening of the park.

Mr. Shinwell

My Department and the Corporation have now agreed on the measurement of the work required in restoration so far as this is known. Further items are, however, coming to light in the course of the restoration now in progress and the Corporation will not be able to submit a complete claim until the work is much further advanced. Discussions on compensation are not delaying the reopening of the park.
