HC Deb 27 January 1947 vol 432 cc580-1
12. Mr. Bowden

asked the Minister of Works for what amount a building licence has been granted for the alterations and renovations at 19, New Walk, Leicester; and for what purpose these premises are to be used on completion.

Mr. Tomlinson

A licence in the sum of £4,250 has been granted for the alterations and renovations at 19, New Walk, Leicester. The premises will be used as offices.

Mr. Bowden

Does my right hon. Friend think the time is opportune for spending money and using labour on a proposal such as this?

Mr. Tomlinson

The need for office accommodation in some provincial cities, as well as in London, is pretty urgent.
