HC Deb 14 March 1983 vol 39 c33W
Mr. George Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects Miller Homes (Northern) Ltd. to take possession of the student residences at the former Hamilton college of education.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member on 14 December 1982.—[Vol. 34, c. 121.]

Mr. George Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will ensure that none of the student residences at the former Hamilton college of education is demolished.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

As I indicated in my reply to the hon. Member on 9 November 1982—[Vol. 31, c. 131] —I would not have considered it appropriate to make this a condition of sale.

Mr. George Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his latest estimate of the cost to maintain and safeguard the student residences at Hamilton college of education until they are finally sold.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Approximately £8,600 per month. A firm date for completion of the sale of the residences has not yet been fixed.
