HC Deb 24 May 1978 vol 950 c580W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment why he has found it necessary to close Yarmouth Castle, Isle of Wight, on Fridays and Saturdays during the summer season.

Mr. Shore

The arrangements for custody staff at monuments in my care are being re-examined to help achieve reductions in civil service manpower. At present only one custodian is employed at Yarmouth Castle, so the monument is closed on his days off. This position is under review.
