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.
