HC Deb 15 May 1947 vol 437 c189W
95. Mrs. Manning

asked the Minister of Works why a permit has been granted to build a racecourse at Farnham with wooden stands capable of holding 30,000 spectators, in view of the shortage of building trade workers and building materials especially timber.

Mr. Key

No building licence has been granted, nor has the use of timber been authorised, for the building of a racecourse at Farnham.
