HC Deb 29 January 1969 vol 776 cc331-2W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will report on the progress made to date on his official residence in Edinburgh; and what is the estimated total cost of its purchase and conversion.

Mr. Ross

I understand that the alterations and decoration put in hand by the trustees from private funds are making good progress. As announced at the time, the house is part of a block of property accepted in 1966 in part satisfaction of estate duty.
