§ Mr. Michael Hamiltonasked the Minister of Public Building and Works what is the cost to public funds of ensuring public order at the summer-solstice ceremony at Stonehenge by the provision of police, guard-dogs and protective wire; what proportion of this cost is borne by an organisation described as Druids; and what steps he takes to satisfy himself that this organisation has an historic connection with the monument before granting them access thereto.
§ Mr. Boyden£460 in 1965. Less this year. None: the organisation has traditional associations with Stonehenge. The precautions taken are primarily to safeguard the Monument, the protection of the Druids is incidental.
