HC Deb 29 July 1937 vol 326 c3353W
Sir P. Hurd

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention has been called to the objections taken to certain features of the Avebury preservation scheme by leading local residents whose livelihood depends on the agriculture of the district; and if he will consult with the other authorities concerned to ensure that, in the effort to recreate Ave-bury somewhat as it was in bygone centuries, due regard is had to the interests of the people living in and around Ave-bury?

Sir P. Sassoon

I am satisfied that the scheme for the preservation of Avebury involves no restrictions on agricultural interests and will not prevent the meeting of the housing needs of the community. If the hon. Member has any special points to raise, I shall be glad to consider them.
