HC Deb 11 May 1954 vol 527 c999
25. Mr. Teeling

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he will be in a position to make a decision concerning the erection at With dean, Brighton, of a stand to hold 1,500 persons and terraces to seat 3,000 people, the laying out of the stadium grounds for a Rugby football pitch, a cinder running track and also the making of facilities for jumping and other athletic events.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I hope to give my decision very soon.

Mr. Teeling

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise that, unless it is done in the next week or two, it may well be impossible to lay the turf which would make it possible to provide Rugby football and other amenities towards the end of this year?

Mr. Macmillan

I hope to be able to give my hon. Friend an answer in that time.
