To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what facilities for(a) home defence, (b) civil defence, (c) the wartime administration of the police or armed forces and (d) the wartime administration of Departments of central Government have been provided at Kincardine, and what were the costs of establishing or maintaining such facilities. [33316]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 12 July 1995]: There are no facilities at Kincardine on Forth established to serve any of the purposes specified in this question.

Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what facilities for(a) home defence, (b) civil defence and (c) the wartime administration of the police or armed forces have been provided within the Connel Ferry; and what were the costs of establishing or maintaining such facilities since 1980. [33317]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 13 July 1995]: The Scottish Office has never been responsible for any such facilities at Connel Ferry. Premises at Connel Ferry which formed part of the Home Office's United Kingdom warning and monitoring organisation, were sold following the disbandment of that organisation in 1991. No separate figures are available in respect of the costs of establishing and maintaining that facility from 1980 until it was sold.
