HC Deb 20 December 1946 vol 431 cc468-9W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware of the application made by the Old People's Homes (Edinburgh) Limited, Affiliated Housing Association, for the conversion of the interior of a house at 56, Manor Place, Edinburgh, occupied by 27 old persons; that a building licence has been applied for and deferred six months; and if he will grant the licence during the winter months and so save the restricted labour force for full employment outdoors in the spring.

Mr. Tomlinson

It has been possible to reconsider this matter and a licence has now been granted permitting the work to be carried out immediately.
