HC Deb 09 April 1946 vol 421 cc1775-6
15. Lieut.-Colonel Mackeson

asked the Minister of Works how many groins or breakwaters his Department is responsible for and on how many of them work has taken place since 1st August, 1945.

Mr. Tomlinson

It will take some time to collect the information desired by the hon. and gallant Member, and I will communicate with him when I have received it.

Mr. Skeffinģton-Lodģe

Is the Minister aware that, normally, groans and backwaters are more associated by the people of the country with His Majesty's Opposition than are groins and breakwaters?
