HC Deb 03 March 1953 vol 512 cc20-1W
62. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Minister of Works, in view of the undesirable practices persisted in by the London Builders' Conference, what steps he has taken to discover how many of the contractors engaged in the erection of Coronation seats are members of this association.

Mr. Eccles

As indicated in my reply of 17th February, a form of declaration was issued to all firms tendering for the erection of stands by my Department. Of the six contracts placed, three are with firms who signed the declaration.
