HC Deb 27 July 1950 vol 478 c144W
159. Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Works what action he is taking to prevent the sale of private building licences, particularly in cases where the licence ultimately passes into the possession of a purchaser who would otherwise not be qualified to obtain one.

Mr. Stokes

I have only had one such case brought to my notice and I do not think that the situation is such as to require further action on my part.
