HC Deb 14 June 1948 vol 452 c13
19. Mr. Kenneth Lindsay

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that the £10 limit for building improvements, over which figure permission must be obtained from his Department, is delaying progress and impairing the efficiency of local education authorities; and what action he proposes to take in amending this restriction.

Mr. Key

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Mr. Key

My hon. and gallant Friend must await the future and see.
