HC Deb 05 March 1957 vol 566 cc38-9W
Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for War what was the original estimated cost of the proposed new barracks at Cardross; what has been the actual cost of the work completed up to the date of suspension of operations; and when a decision to resume work is likely to be made.

Mr. J. Amery

Work has not begun on this project which was estimated to cost about £430,000, and no money has been spent on it apart from the cost of the site. Because the Army's requirements are at present under review, I cannot say whether this barracks will be built.
