HC Deb 16 December 1946 vol 431 c1588
24. Mr. Piratin

asked the Minister of Works why, of 15 cases of alleged illegal building work, five of which were not proceeded with, referred to his Department for action by the Stepney Borough Council in June, no decision has yet been taken with regard to the remaining TO cases.
