HC Deb 24 July 1950 vol 478 c13W
92. Mrs. Hill

asked the Minister of Works why a licence to build was refused Mr. Milnes in respect of his premises, 1 to 3 and 18 to 22, Clowes Street, Salford, when permission had been granted under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, for the reinstatement of these premises destroyed by enemy action.

Mr. Stokes

It has not so far been possible to grant a licence to rebuild this war damaged property because of the restrictions on capital investment announced by the Government last October, and I cannot at present indicate when I shall be able to do so.
