HC Deb 19 February 1948 vol 447 cc259-60W
92. Mr. J. McKay

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that assurances have been given by the general manager of the Newcastle Transport and Electricity Undertakings, also by the Automobile Services, Ltd., that if more opportunity be given for greyhound racing at Gosforth Stadium at the times suggested on Mondays and Saturdays, arrangements can be made to deal with the extra traffic without causing inconvenience to anyone; that the Northern Regional Board for industry has expressed sympathy with the suggestions of the management of the Gosforth Stadium; and will he reconsider granting the request.

Mr. Ede

I am aware of the views of these bodies. In reply to the last part of the Question I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave him on 5th February.
