HC Deb 06 December 1928 vol 223 c1419W
Sir M. CONWAY

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the proposal to erect a large slaughter-house in the immediate neighbourhood of Pevensey village and castle, to the lasting injury of the amenities of the place as a holiday resort; and whether he will withhold his sanction from this proposal?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

My attention has been called to the proposal referred to, and I understand that the district council have granted the licence applied for. My sanction is not required, and I have no power to override the decision of the council.
