HC Deb 11 May 1959 vol 605 cc119-20W
Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Minister of Works the amount of money spent by him on each of his Department's properties in the Outer Hebrides in each of the last three years; and give details of the work carried out on each.

Mr. Molson

My Department is responsible for forty-two properties in the Outer Hebrides. Expenditure on them during the past three financial years has been as under:

New Construction Maintenance Adaptations and Improvements
£ £ £
1956–57 26,418 2,147 2,112
1957–58 36,185 4,390 3,102
1958–59 2,465 3,504 1,459

To provide the information in the detail requested would require more staff time than seems to me to be justified.
