78. Mr. Ivor Thomasasked the Minister of Works to whom a licence was granted for the construction of a building of a floor area of approximately 70,000 square feet in Western Avenue, Cardiff, completed in or about July, 1947; and what were the circumstances in which this building was acquired for the use of a Government Department.
§ Mr. KeyA licence for the erection of the building which I presume the hon. Member has in mind was granted to Messrs. Unity Structures (Wales), Ltd., in April, 1946. This firm was later unable to proceed with the intended production of prefabricated housing components, and a lease of the building was acquired from them by my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General.
