I purchased a new cam (stock) and gave the machine shop that is machining my
MGB engine a set of new cam bearings to install. Now the machinist is
telling
me I don't need new cam bearings. I just assumed that if I was installing a
new cam I should replace the bearings. Should I accept his advise or find a
new machine shop to install them?

I assume that they didn't hot tank your block (why not?) or you WOULD need
new bearings. If the old bearings are not scored and have the correct
clearance, they guy at the shop is correct - no point in changing them.
You should thank him - many shops would automatically change them because
they could charge you for it, whether they needed it or not.
