HC Deb 17 June 1998 vol 314 c224W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will place in the Library on a monthly basis a report on those archaeological discoveries his advisers assess to be(a) significant and (b) less significant in the course of excavations relating to work on the building to house the Scottish Parliament, together with relevant diagrams conveying information relating to each stratum uncovered of the Holyrood site. [44647]

Mr. Dewar

It would not be possible to provide meaningful information of the kind requested on a regular basis, because of the complexity of the project. However, I am arranging to have a copy of the desk assessment of the site placed in the Library and will be happy to place further reports there as significant stages of the archaeological work are completed.
