HC Deb 14 November 1933 vol 281 cc712-3
10. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware that application has been made to the Miners' Welfare Fund Committee for a grant towards the equipment of a children's playground at Wood End, Staffordshire, and that both the Cannock Chase committee and the South Staffordshire committee have declined to consider the matter on the ground that the place in question is within the area of the other authority; and whether he will take steps to see that a decision shall be reached as to the correct authority to which application should be made?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Ernest Brown)

I have referred this question to the Miners' Welfare Committee, who are consulting the two district committees concerned. I will let my hon. Friend know the result as soon as possible.
