HC Deb 19 May 1947 vol 437 c216W
112. Mr. Nicholls

asked the Minister of Works why he has supplied, or authorised the supply, of timber for the construction of racecourse grandstands at Waverley Abbey, near Farnham.

114. Mr. Chamberlain

asked the Minister of Works whether his attention has been called to a proposal to build a racecourse at Waverley Abbey, Surrey, involving the construction of wooden stands for 30,000 spectators; and whether this expenditure on timber has been sanctioned by his Department.

Mr. Key

As I stated in the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Epping (Mrs. Manning) on 15th May, no building licence has been granted, nor has the use of timber been authorised, for the building of a racecourse at Farnham.
