HC Deb 03 May 1948 vol 450 c880
14. Sir Waldron Smithers

asked the Minister of Works why, in view of the fact that the adjoining business premises cannot get licences to repair their shops in Rosendale Road, Dulwich, licences are granted to the Socialist Party to instal offices in the same road; and whether he will state the amount of money authorised for expenditure.

Mr. Key

No licences have been issued to the local Labour Party either by my Ministry or by the local authority, to instal offices in Rosendale Road, Dulwich.

Sir W. Smithers

Can the Minister give an assurance that no licence will be granted in preference to the ordinary shops in Rosendale Road?

Mr. Key

The granting of licences by my Department will be according to the need in each case.

Sir W. Smithers

You are learning.
