HC Deb 26 January 1960 vol 616 c18W
Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Works what assistance he will provide in the restoration and preservation of Boston Manor House; and to what use it is proposed that this historic building should be put.

Lord John Hope

As my predecessor informed the hon. Member for Dagenham (Mr. Parker) on 2nd June, 1959, the Brentford and Chiswick Borough Council, the owners of Boston Manor House, have been offered a grant not exceeding £2,000 to meet 50 per cent. of the cost of structural repairs to the house. I am informed that the Council are negotiating a lease with the National Institute of Houseworkers Ltd. who would use the building as a residential centre.
