HC Deb 18 May 1949 vol 465 cc433-4
62. Mr. Francis Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Works whether he has considered a letter from the Town Clerk of Brentford and Chiswick, dated 30th April, on the subject of the Festival of Britain, a copy of which the hon. Member for Brentford and Chiswick has forwarded to him; and whether he will now receive a deputation which wishes to put forward proposals in this connection.

The Minister of Works (Mr. Key)

Yes, Sir, and I am arranging to receive a deputation.

Mr. Noel-Baker

While thanking my right hon. Friend very much indeed and expressing to him the thanks of very many people in Brentford and Chiswick, may I ask whether he will consider the possibility of arranging for a representative of the Festival of Britain organisation to be present when he receives that deputation?

Mr. Key

I will consider that, but I do not know that it will be necessary.
