HC Deb 28 March 1973 vol 853 c321W
69. Mr. Freeson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will undertake archaeological investigations of the site of the proposed new parliamentary building in Bridge Street before any decision is made on whether its construction is to be started; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

As I assured the House on 9th March, provision has been made for archaeological investigation of the site to take place before any construction begins, should the House decide to proceed with this project.
