HC Deb 05 March 1968 vol 760 cc61-2W
62. Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what estimate he has made of the cost of rectifying the recent damage at Stonehenge; how lasting was the damage inflicted; and what further precautions he is taking to prevent a repetition.

Mr. Mellish

About £115. I hope that no permanent damage was inflicted, but the unsightly patches left by cleaning will certainly take years to weather away. I hope to continue to benefit from the cooperation of the police authorities, but I do not think that it would be wise to disclose the further security measures I am contemplating.
