HC Deb 31 March 1981 vol 2 c61W
Mr. McKelvey

asked the Secretary of State for Defence on whose authority the Army training camp at Milton Bridge, near Edinburgh, is being used by the Inland Revenue to process mail affected by the Council of Civil Service Unions industrial action at Cumbernauld accounts office; how much this exercise costs; and whether Army personnel are involved in processing the material.

Mr. Goodhart

At the request of the Property Services Agency, accommodation at Milton Bridge barracks which was not being used by the Army was made available by the Army authorities to the PSA for allocation to another Government Department. The cost of doing so was negligible and no Service men were used to process material for the Inland Revenue.
