HC Deb 10 February 1969 vol 777 cc234-5W
65. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will give details of the expenditure of the £55,000 he is to incur at Caernarvon Castle.

Mr. Mellish

The expenditure to date consists of 10 contracts covering the following items:—

  • Scaffolding,
  • Temporary Lavatories,
  • Electrical Services,
  • Manufacture of Seats,
  • Fabric for Seats,
  • Dais Slate Base,
  • Dais Canopy Erection,
  • Dais Steel Tubing,
  • Dais Canopy Fabrication, and
  • General Building.

There are a few other contracts still to be let.

The total value of all these contracts will be £155,000 but we shall receive in return £100,000 for the sale of seats cushions, souvenir medals and erection of seats in the moats for the Welsh Tourist Board. This leaves a net expenditure of £55,000 which is the total cost against the Investiture Vote.
