HC Deb 25 June 1952 vol 502 cc192-3W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Minister of Works to what extent the policy of floodlighting public buildings under his control on suitable occasions applies to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee.

Mr. Eccles

The only Government building in Edinburgh which is floodlit on special occasions is the Castle. This is so outstanding that I do not think that anything is to be gained by floodlighting other Government buildings, which might detract from the effect. It is not proposed to floodlight Government buildings in provincial cities either in England or Scotland.
