HC Deb 01 November 1944 vol 404 c803W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works why the Wandsworth Greyhound Stadium was granted a licence for repairs while many houses in the district are still in a bad condition.

Mr. Hicks

An application was received from the Stadium Company to carry out repairs at a cost of £2,490. This was refused. Work estimated to cost something over £400, which is essential to safeguard valuable property and plant, has been permitted. The bulk of the work has been done by the Stadium staff, who will carry out the small amount remaining to be done.
