HC Deb 17 December 1952 vol 509 c221W
Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Works the present position with regard to the Government science centre; and whether it is intended that the necessary buildings should be erected on the South Bank site.

Mr. Eccles

I regret that the planning of the science centre has had to be deferred in view of the need for economy. When the economic situation improves it is hoped to lease a site on the South Bank immediately below Waterloo Bridge.
