HC Deb 15 June 1936 vol 313 cc632-3
39. Mr. E. J. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Labour whether his Department is prepared to sanction the Special Commissioner undertaking a scheme for the construction of a sea-wall or promenade in a Special Area; and would the same apply to a scheme extending into the boundaries of a non-Special Area?

The MINISTER of LABOUR (Mr. Ernest Brown)

The powers of the commissioner in regard to measures outside the Special Areas are set out in Section 1 (6) of the Special Areas Act, 1934. As regards the first part of the question, schemes of the type referred to, which comply with the conditions of the Act, are eligible for assistance from the fund.
