HC Deb 14 November 1983 vol 48 c339W
Mr. George Robertson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much to date has been spent on security and maintenance costs at the student residence of Hamilton college of education since the exchange of missives; and what is the budgeted figure until the sale is finally concluded.

Mr. Allan Stewart

Total costs incurred to 31 October 1983 amounted to £101,000. There is budget cover for total expenditure of up to £180,000 until the sale is completed, but actual costs are expected to be substantially less.
