HC Deb 18 April 1950 vol 474 cc32-3
54. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the total amount of payments made in respect of war damage repairs in Mecklenberg Square, including the amount paid on houses subsequently demolished.

Mr. Jay

The War Damage Commission tell me that about £27,000 has been paid by way of cost of works payments for the repair of houses in Mecklenberg Square. For those houses which were destroyed only value payments were made.

Mr. Donnelly

Will my hon. Friend take steps to bring these figures to the notice of the Ministry of Town and Country Planning before action is taken to proceed with the present proposals for the conversion of Mecklenberg Square to its new purpose?

Mr. Jay

Certainly.
