HC Deb 29 November 1948 vol 458 c1610
11. Mr. David Renton

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that the Regional Office of his Department at Cambridge have refused an application by Mr. F. J. M. Wedge, of Keyston, for a licence to erect a workshop, 40 ft. by 20 ft., which he urgently requires in order to carry out repairs and maintenance to tractors and agricultural machinery; what were the reasons for such refusal; and whether he will reconsider the refusal to grant the licence.

Mr. Key

Yes, Sir; the application was refused in the absence of support at the time from the Government Departments interested in the undertaking. I have, however, reconsidered the matter in the light of the further information supplied to me by the hon. Member and the licence has now been issued.
