§ Mr. Messerasked the Secretary of State for War why permission was given for the rebuilding of the Harringay sports arena; if he is aware that many bomb-damaged houses in the borough have not yet been rendered habitable; and if, in view of the shortage of housing accommodation, he will transfer the labour from the Harringay arena to more important work.
§ Captain Gammansasked the Secretary of State for War what is the value of the licence granted for work on the Harringay Stadium; how many men are employed; and if he is aware of the feeling in Hornsey and neighbouring badly-bombed boroughs at the use of man-power on this type of work.
§ Mr. PetherickThis stadium is being used as an Army depot and it is necessary for its proper functioning to make good air-raid damage there. Work estimated to cost £7,500 is being carried out and 14 men are at present being employed there.
