HC Deb 09 June 1953 vol 516 c10
19. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Minister of Works how many building projects costing more than £50,000 have been licensed to commence in the last 12 months; and whether he will show separately the private and those on public account.

Sir D. Eccles

This information is not readily available, and I do not think that the work involved in obtaining it would be justified.

Mr. Jones

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the refusal to sanction a project, details of which have been sent to him by myself, is seriously impeding a trade union organisation from improving its property in conformity with its extended activities?

Sir D. Eccles

I am always ready to look into any special case, and, if the hon. Member will talk to me about it, I will see what can be done.
