§ 100. Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Minister of Works the value of the work for which licences have been issued by his Department in respect of repairs to the dog-racing track at Harringay.
§ Mr. WilsonA licence for £200 has been issued in respect of repairs to the dog racing track at Harringay with the approval of the local authority who requested that the repairs should be carried out immediately in order to ensure the safety of the public. The licence is subject to the condition that the work shall be carried out by the stadium's own staff, and no controlled materials have been issued or applied for.
§ Mr. Ernest Daviesasked the Minister of Works on what grounds a licence was granted for the repair of damage at Harringay Stadium resulting from recent 253W disorderly behaviour there; why it was considered that this work merited priority; and what is the cost of the repairs.
§ Mr. WilsonI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I have given today to the hon. Member for Kingston-upon-Thames (Mr. Boyd-Carpenter). I would add that no priority was given for the work.
